- 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 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.

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.
