Cape Town – Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) senior researcher Gumani Tshimomola has argued that it would benefit investors and the private sector if the EFF gained power in the upcoming May 29 elections.
He said during an interview that the EFF would bring economic certainty and optimise worker productivity.
Tshimomola dismissed claims from opposition parties, like the DA, that an EFF-led government would deter investors, asserting that DA leader John Steenhuisen misunderstands investor perspectives.
“When parliament knocks off, he should have used some of the time to go and get some basic. Why would you listen to a person who refuses to engage data and knowledge around what investors are thinking,” he said.

He emphasised that the EFF has a plan to grow South Africa’s economy and attract investment, despite low overseas voter confidence in the last election.
Tshimomola insisted the private sector cannot dictate economic policies to the EFF, which aims to implement its core principles, including nationalization and land expropriation.
He refuted the notion that investors fear an EFF government, claiming the party has concrete plans to create jobs, unlike other political parties’ vague promises.
