Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) officials were involved in a brief standoff with African National Congress (ANC) counterparts over an ANC poster near a polling station in Seshego on Wednesday morning.
An angry EFF official approached a group of ANC officials‚ among them former ANC Youth League provincial secretary Jacob Lebogo‚ and asked them to take down an ANC poster hanging outside a house just a stone’s throw away from the Mponegele Primary School polling station.
“No‚ this is not allowed‚ we are asking them nicely to remove the poster because it’s clear campaigning and they are just being stubborn‚” the EFF official said.
