The slaughtering of eight cows will mark the entry of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) into South Africa's political landscape in Marikana, North West, on Saturday, the party has announced.
"We are slaughtering on Saturday and launch on Sunday," EFF leader Julius Malema's spokesman Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said on Friday.
He said the ceremony would be at a hill at the Nkaneng informal settlement where police shot dead 34 people, many of them striking miners, last August.
