Queen Khazeka stressed that her involvement with the EFF extends beyond the upcoming elections. She sees herself as a torchbearer for change and envisions a brighter future for South Africa.
Drawing upon her lineage of royalty and political leaders, she feels a deep sense of responsibility to advocate for meaningful transformation and progress.
Queen Khazeka has never been shy about her political convictions. She comes from a lineage of political activists and leaders who fought for justice and equality. She recognizes the sacrifices made by her predecessors and feels compelled to continue their legacy.
