THE African National Congress (ANC) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Free State are set for a showdown over plans by the red overalls to intensify the drive for land invasions in the province.
Last week, the EFF was at the forefront of defending people who have been evicted from a piece of land earmarked for development in Manyatseng township in Ladybrand.
Premier Ace Magashule has since sent out a word of caution to Julius Malema's party.
"In this province there shall be law and order ," Magashule said in Meqheleng, Ficksburg, at the weekend.
"We have evicted them in Sasolburg, we evicted them in Ladybrand, and we will do so each time they take up land illegally," he said.
However, EFF provincial spokesman Mohaneloa Tsoaeli hit back at Magashule.
He accused Magashule's administration of evicting close to 700 families without arranging alternative accommodation.
