If the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) wins the Gauteng elections, expect to have Dali Mpofu as your premier and for the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) to be partnering with the red berets. Thats as far as the big names go, however. As initially promised, the EFF have no dazzling names in their lists for the 2014 national elections. The party released the highlights of their lists on Monday afternoon at a press conference in Braamfontein, including the top 10 names of its national lists, who will be sent to Parliament, and their premier candidates for each province. Provincial premier candidates Eastern Cape – Themba Wele Gauteng – Dali Mpofu KwaZulu-Natal – Vusi Khoza Limpopo – Mike Mathebe Mpumalanga – Collen Sedibe North West – Alfred Motsi Northern Cape – Aubrey Baartman Western Cape – Nazier Paulsen The top 10 names of the party includes: Julius Malema Mpho Ramakatsa Leigh-Ann Mathys Floyd Shivambu Hlengiwe Hlophe Godrich Gardee Magdalene Moonsamy Mbuyiseni Ndlozi Teboho Mokwele Andile Mngxitama Malema emphasised that the partys selection criteria was people with grassroots experience and passion for political change, rather than academic qualifications or other formal qualifications. Malema also announced an official partnership between the EFF and PAC. List is 99.9% gender balanced Last week Malema said that the EFF had submitted a National Assembly list, province to national list, and provincial legislature lists. Adding that the party would contest nationally and all nine provinces. Our list is 99.9% gender balanced, it has generational mix and geographical mix, he said at the time. [However] racial mix is still a challenge. Malema said he was confident his party would be in government after the May 7 elections. The game is on. Those who feel up to the task can bring it on, Malema said. We will be in government.
