POLOKWANE - The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is holding its final election rally in Limpopo on Saturday.
The party’s leaders are in the northern province, which is considered to be an African National Congress (ANC) stronghold.
Since 1994, support for the ANC hasn't ever been below 75% in Limpopo.

The EFF’s final rally is being hosted at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
Limpopo is significant to the party because this is the home province of the EFF’s founder and leader, Julius Malema.
Not too far from the stadium is Seshego, where Malema grew up.
Over the past several days, the party has donated an administration block to a high school in Seshego and donated a newly built home to an elderly couple, among other activities.
Speaking ahead of the rally, Malema said the EFF has done all it can to convince people to vote for it.
“We have run a very successful campaign, we have run a clean campaign, we have run a solid campaign, and we are confident that our message resonated with the people of South Africa.”
Limpopo is a border province, so it remains to be seen whether the EFF’s idea of a united Africa resonates with the voters there.
