EFF calls to eliminate African borders

EFF calls to eliminate African borders

25 July 2013 17:38

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) will promote the ultimate integration of the African continent by eliminating national borders, according to its founding manifesto.

The "protest movement" led by Julius Malema said the borders between African countries were "unnecessary", especially those between South Africa and Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland.

"The EFF will … advocate for the ultimate integration of the African continent through the erosion and eventual elimination of unnecessary borders, which, in the case of South Africa will entail the Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland borders in a manner that involves and includes the participation and approval of those countries," it said in its manifesto.

"This will also be encouraged in other parts of the African continent."

This formed part of the EFF's policy on "progressive internationalism".
