Leader and founder of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema says voting without receiving the benefits thereof is meaningless.
According to the the renowned South African politician, while citizens enjoy the right to vote for any candidate of their choice, there ought to be tangible benefits associated with this right.
Mr Malema asserts that the current system is failing to deliver the benefits associated with voting. He was speaking at an event organised by Arise Ghana on the theme, 'A Day of Dialogue With Julius Malema.'

“You must vote and when you arrive at home, you must find bread, you must find free education, you must find quality public health, and you must find reliable electricity and not what we experienced earlier on.”
He added that Africans should take control of their own destiny, without being afraid of external influences or colonizers.

Speaking at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Accra, he stated that Africans must be truthful and “call a spade a spade, which is the only way an African will be respected.”
“This continent is one. They may think they divided it. I can guarantee you now, like we saw when Ghana got liberated and South Africa said one day, it will happen, it came many years after but eventually, it came.”
“The unity of this continent is going to come and when we call on each other, to come into each other’s country, we must embrace that with ease. “
