Zeinab Badawi talks to Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters. They've made their mark in South African politics, but is the EFF anything more than a protest party?

Zeinab Badawi speaks to Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters or EFF. He is one of the most colourful and controversial politicians in South Africa. To his supporters he is a populist who understands their needs and is willing to stand up for them. To his critics he is a demagogue who makes inflammatory statements against corruption whilst personally enriching himself. The EFF came out of nowhere to win more than six percent of the vote in national elections last year. With their distinctive red berets and noisy interventions, they've made their mark in South African politics. But is the EFF anything more than a protest party?
