The Economic Freedom Fighters condemns the refusal by the autocratic military government of Botswana to grant the CIC [commander in chief] Julius Malema a visa, There are absolutely no grounds for a so-called democratic country to refuse a person a visa merely on the basis that he holds a different political view to that of the government. First the CIC Julius Malema has been subjected to a process where he is the only citizen of the 50 million plus South Africans who needs a visa to visit what is a SADC country, he said. Secondly, Botswana treats the CIC as the only leader of a party represented in the Parliament of South Africa who cannot be permitted to visit Botswana. This autocratic military government of Botswana has refused CIC a visa even when the Batswana people want him to visit. Botswana is afraid of the power of his message and the message of economic freedom. National Spokesperson, EFF
