The South African opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party has asked for donations to “finance the revolution” ahead of the party's 10th anniversary.

On its social media pages, the EFF on Monday shared a recorded video of its leader Julius Malema asking for donations from "peace-loving South Africans and revolutionaries from the African continent and the diaspora".

Mr Malema asked for donations of cows, vegetables, groceries, T-shirts and buses for the anniversary celebration at FNB Stadium south of Johannesburg, on 29 July.

“We call upon all of you to make donations to the EFF because we must finance our own revolution. If we don't finance our own revolution, counter-revolutionaries will hijack it,” Mr Malema said.

The EFF listed its "successes" in the past 10 years as motivation for people to donate, with Mr Malema asking as little as 10 rand ($0.54; £0.43) to finance the party.
