The ANC built a swimming pool for President Jacob Zuma at Nkandla while many of the country's citizens swam in poverty, Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema said on Monday.
According to News24, Malema was speaking at the community hall in Marikana West ahead of the EFF's second anniversary rally on Saturday at the Olympia Park Stadium in Rustenburg.
"Before the election they will come with food parcels and after the election they are gone. In Parliament, we are telling Zuma he is a thief," Malema told residents and supporters in Marikana West.
He advised elderly voters to not vote for the ruling African National Congress because of former president Nelson Mandela, with Malema saying, "Mandela was no more".
"That is why you do not have water. This is not the ANC of [former president] Thabo Mbeki. It is the ANC that builds a swimming pool for its president. You are swimming in a pool of poverty. Zuma swims in a pool worth millions of rands."
