BOSA challenges EFF's Malema to personally verify 140k signatures it collected to run in elections
Last week, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema questioned the credibility of BOSA's signatures, which he says could have been forged.

JOHANNESBURG - Mmusi Maimane's Build One South Africa (BOSA) says it's willing to prove the legitimacy of the 140,000 signatures it collected to run for the elections.
The Electoral Commission (IEC) required new political parties to submit 60,000 signatures to feature on the ballot paper.
Last week, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema questioned the credibility of BOSA's signatures, which he says could have been forged.
But the party's spokesperson, Roger Solomons, says this is not true.
"Malema and others must accept BOSA's growth. We therefore today challenge Mr Malema to come examine BOSA's 140,000 signatures himself outside the IEC offices in Tshwane this Wednesday 24 April at 15:00. We will make available the 140,000 signatures for his perusal."
