This, after the party prevented several media houses from attending and reporting on the party's 2nd national congress. 

Makaneta says the journalist's silencing of journalists sends a strong message that - should the EFF take over the government - censorship of journalists will be the order of the day. 

Makaneta says the Daily Maverick, Mail & Guardian and others were banned from attending the event after these publications reported on Malema and his deputy Floyd Shivambu's alleged connection with the controversial - and now liquidated - VBS Mutual Bank.
