The same hacker that carried out DDoS attacks on the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) last weekend for news censorship practices came back today with new attacks on the EFF and ZANU-PF, two black nationalist political parties in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
The hacker launched simple DDoS attacks that took down the official websites of these two organizations. At the time of writing, the EFF site is back online, while the ZANU-PF website is still down.
In statements made via Twitter, the hacker accused the two political parties of having a racist agenda.
Known as Zim4thewin, the hacker has carried out similar DDoS attacks against the EFF last week before launching the SABC DDoS attack that brought his actions into the public light.
Hacker opposes the rise of EFF in South Africa’s political ranks
The EFF (Economic Freedom Fighter) is a black nationalist and socialist political party in South Africa. The group’s goal is to win the majority in the country’s African National Congress (ANC) so it could implement its main agenda.
The group’s leaders have many times stated in public that they want to expropriate lands stolen by white people and give it back to the black population. Further, the EFF also wants to nationalize the country’s mining and banking sectors.
The group, which is South Africa’s third-largest political party, has a similar agenda with the ZANU-PF (Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front) party that’s been ruling Zimbabwe since 1980. In the 80s, ZANU-PF has seized large farms owned in most cases by the white minority and redistributed to the black population.
Below are a series of tweets from Zim4thewin, in which he gives his viewpoint on the EFF and ZANU-PF’s political agendas. Softpedia has reached out to Zim4thewin for additional commentary.
