effIOL News writes that councillors wanting sex in exchange for jobs and houses will be kicked out immediately at any municipality under the control of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).  

This formed part of the EFF’s manifesto when party leader Julius Malema unveiled his municipal plans to supporters at Orlando Stadium in Soweto on Saturday.  He stated:  “We visited Rustenburg and community members there told us their councillors were demanding sex before they could give them jobs and houses.  It is because of that that we included it in our manifesto.  Such councillors will be shown the door immediately.”  Committing his party to securing senior managerial positions in all EFF-controlled municipalities for men and women with suitable qualifications, Malema said his party would not employ people because of their political connections.
