  • The EFF accuses the British high commission of intentionally obstructing Julius Malema's visa application to prevent his participation in the Cambridge Africa Together Conference.

  • The party condemned the delayed processing as a political snub, attributing it to Malema's outspoken criticism of colonialism and the British monarchy.

  • British High Commissioner Antony Phillipson expressed regret over the delay, citing necessary procedures and recent UK bank holidays as reasons for not processing the visa on time.

  • The EFF views this incident as part of a broader effort to silence dissenting voices against imperialism and capitalism and reaffirms its commitment to international mobilization.
  • The British authorities have denied me a visa to London for the Cambridge Conference this weekend, providing no substantial justification. It is clear to me that this is an attempt to silence a dissenting political perspective.
    Julius Malema expresses his frustration over being denied a visa and claims it is an attempt to stifle political dissent.
