EFF provincial leader Nkululeko Dunga.
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Gauteng chairperson Nkululeko Dunga says residents in Sharpeville, Gauteng, are not only grappling with high levels of unemployment but also neglect from government.
Dunga was speaking to SABC News ahead of the EFF rally at Dlomo Dam where party leader Julius Malema will address supporters at midday today.
The party is commemorating Human Rights Day in the area where 69 protesters were shot dead by police in 1960 when protesting against pass laws.
Dunga says that some of the employment opportunities available to residents are only when political descend to the area.
“Because all government and political parties, I presume would ascend here and come and engage in political programs and that’s what we got. So there’s a high level of neglect but the high level of neglect of the people of Sharpeville can be attributed to the fact that none of them in actual fact were genuine or true members of the ANC in itself because the ANC has an inward perspective of looking whereas in they would prioritize their own people.”
