With the EFF never having contested municipal elections before, all eyes were on their manifesto to see what would be on their target list.

Rather than destroy the environment, as argued by Greenpeace, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) seeks to remove trade barriers and ultimately make all economic flows between the EU and US far easier.
