The new party in the block:EFF

 The new baby on the block

  i was asking my friend that how many political parties does she know, she told me that she know African National Congress (ANC) which is the ruling party, Democratic Alliance (DA), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), Congress Of the People (COPE) and the new baby in the block Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

 This has left me thinking that out of the 15 parties, she only knows five. I wonder why the other parties are not known. The reason is because they do not make use of the public Relations strategies in their parties. Let’s look on the freedom Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is the yesterday party but it is already known and everyone is talking about it.
 

The EFF has managed to market them well because they took any chance they see in front of them and use it, they don’t only rely on the word of mouth but they go out and do campaigns. On the 16 of August the leader of EFF was at Marikaan for the anniversary of the deaths of the mineworkers wearing his EFF beret to show people which party does he belong to. The crown clapped, whistled and raised hands when he arrived to show how happy they are to see him and knowing that there is a party that still care. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Malema-arrives-in-Marikana-20130816

The party is already having thousands of followers and the youth is talking about it, you can’t even believe that it was born last month but already they have win many people because they know how to market themselves. Is the EFF the future of SA?

The general secretary of Cosatu: zwelinzima vavi
The general secretary of cosatu Zwelinzima Vavi is being accused of raping one of cosatu’s employees who happened to be married. Vavi is a brave man because he managed to stand up and tell the truth. He apologized to cosatu and South Africa as whole for his action and admitted to have affair with the married woman but he didn’t rape her, he had consensual sex with her as they were having an affair. He don’t blame anyone for bad publicity but blame himself for cheating on his wife and having an affair with his colleague.http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/vavi-says-sorry-for-sex-scandal-1.1556642
This incident brought bad publicity to the cosatu union, leading people into thinking whether to rely on them as South Africa leading union. the public look up to cosatu to solve worker's rights and set as an example to the small unions looking up to them. cosatu has taken action to place both the accusser and vavi on special leave so they can reach a conclusion without violeting any person's rights.
 


 We all know that no one is perfect and we make mistakes, so he also made a mistake that anyone of us can make, what I like about him is that he is taking actions to prove his innocence. The accuser didn’t have a case because if she had one she wouldnt have withdrawn the charges against him and for the fact that she recorded him while having a conversation with her, it shows that it was something that she planned.  How long will women accuse men for something that they didn’t do?
