About EFF Zimbabwe
Background of the Economic Freedom Fighters Zimbabwe
The Economic Freedom Fighters is a radical and militant economic emancipation movement, formed on 24th of March 2016 with the aim of bringing together revolutionary, radical activists, community-based organizations as well as lobby groups under the umbrella of the political party pursuing the struggle of economic emancipation.
The EFF is an anti-imperialist and leftist movement with an internationalist outlook anchored by popular grassroots’ formations and struggles. The political party has thus drawn inspiration from the broad Marxist-Leninist tradition school of thought in their analysis of the state, imperialism, culture and class contradictions in every society.
Our Vision
The EFF will, with determination and consistency associate with the protest movement in Zimbabwe and will also join in struggles that defy the unjust laws.
Our Mission
The EFF Zimbabwe is a movement with a progressive internationalist outlook, which seeks to engage global progressive movements. We believe that the best contribution we can make in the national and international struggle against global imperialism is to stand against imperialist domination.

Our history
The Economic Freedom Fighters appreciates the role played by the fathers and mothers of Zimbabwe’s liberation movement. The movement thus draws inspiration from the radical, working class that Zimbabwe indeed belongs to all who live in it, and ownership of Zimbabwe’s economic resources and access to opportunities should reflect the country belonging to all its people regardless of tribe. The transfer of mineral wealth beneath the soil, monopoly industries and banks mean nationalisation of such and EFF accepts that while the state is in command and in control of the commanding heights of Zimbabwe’s economy, “people shall have equal rights to trade where they choose, to manufacture and to enter all trades, crafts and professions”, meaning that there will never be wholesale nationalisation of the state control of every sector of Zimbabwe’s economy. Nationalisation of strategic sectors and assets will be blended with a strong industrial policy to support social and economic development.
