The EFF has branded Prince Harry as an attention-seeking murderer.
This comes after Harry made several sensational revelations in his upcoming memoir, ‘Spare’ – including that he killed 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.
Harry said while serving as a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan in 2012 and 2013, he participated in six missions, all of which involved deaths, but saw them as justifiable.
He's quoted as saying he didn't think of them as people, but as chess pieces that had to be removed from the board.
"It wasn't a statistic that filled me with pride but nor did it leave me ashamed," he wrote in his autobiography.
"When I found myself plunged in the heat and confusion of combat I didn't think of those 25 as people. They were chess pieces removed from the board. Bad people eliminated before they could kill good people."
The EFF said the comments were reckless, insensitive and inhumane.
“Harry’s cheerful reflections on his war crimes are nothing but the arrogance of a genocidal murderer,” EFF national spokesperson, Leigh-Ann Mathys lamented.
“It is more alarming that the days in which Harry murdered 25 people is cited as a period that was not characterised by conflict, so it is likely that the attention-seeking Harry murdered innocent civilians,” said Mathys.
Prince Harry's tell-all interview will air in South African television on Monday, a day before the official worldwide release of his autobiography.
