Economic Freedom Fighters EFF) has vowed to destroy statues of all icons of apartheid.

The statue of Paul Kruger in Pretoria is said to be next in EFFs plans.

EFFs Tshwane deputy chairperson Moafrika Mabongwana said that they are planning to remove everything that represents apartheid in the City of Tshwane.

"“The fact that these statues, which are symbols of white supremacy, are still found in this city is a crime against our people. We are going to remove everything that represents apartheid and white supremacy from this city,” said Mabongwana on IOL.

He continued to say that they will not be seking anyone's permission as they believe the statues do not represent "the hue of our society".

Mabongwana said that because of lack of education, thousands of people continue to pose for pictures by the statue and "by destroying the statues, we will be educating our people".
