EFF leader Julius Malema says the land belongs to South Africa’s African majority.

NEWCASTLE - Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says white people can't claim ownership of land saying it belongs to the country's African majority.

Malema was addressing supporters at the Madadeni College Stadium in Newcastle in KwaZulu-Natal.

The EFF was celebrating the 61st anniversary of the adoption of the Freedom Charter.

Malema says his party agrees with Pan Africanist Congress founder Robert Subukwe who said the clause in the Freedom Charter, that the land belongs to all who live it, was a sell out clause.

"If we say that South Africa belongs to whites too it means we are defeating what our forefathers were fighting for."

The EFF leader also says the land can't be shared among those who work it as the Freedom Charter says because this would mean if whites work the land, they too can claim it.

"These whites found us here and not one of them came with a piece of land in their pockets."

He says once blacks have been declared rightful owners of the land the party will decide how much percentage to give white people who have naturalised.
