Two Senior EFF Leaders Resign, Aligning with Jacob Zuma’s MK Party Amid Internal Tensions

Two Senior EFF Leaders Resign, Aligning with Jacob Zuma’s MK Party Amid Internal Tensions

Two prominent leaders from the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) branch of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have confirmed their resignation from the party, citing internal oppression and dissatisfaction with leadership as their primary reasons. Their departure comes as part of a broader exodus of senior members who are now aligning themselves with the growing political influence of the Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, led by former President Jacob Zuma.

The two leaders, whose names will be formally announced soon, voiced their frustrations in statements released on Wednesday, accusing the EFF of stifling their voices and marginalizing dissenting views. “We joined the EFF for radical economic transformation, but what we have experienced is the opposite,” one leader stated. “There is no room for dissent or genuine debate. We’ve been ignored, marginalized, and forced to accept decisions that do not serve the people of South Africa.”

Their resignations come at a time of increasing tension within the EFF, with several members raising concerns about authoritarian leadership and a lack of transparency. These internal issues have reportedly triggered the exodus, as disillusioned members flock to the MK Party, which they view as a more suitable platform for addressing the country’s economic and social challenges.

Under Zuma’s leadership, the MK Party has gained traction by positioning itself as a revival of the liberation struggle, attracting members who feel disconnected from mainstream political organizations like the EFF. This shift in loyalty could have a significant impact on the political landscape in KwaZulu-Natal, where the EFF has built a strong base. The departure of high-ranking members may weaken the party’s influence in the region, creating an opening that the MK Party appears eager to fill.

Political analysts have noted that these defections highlight deeper issues within the EFF, which, despite its vocal presence in national politics, may be struggling to maintain internal unity. The EFF’s loss could be the MK Party’s gain, as it builds momentum ahead of the upcoming elections.

The MK Party has welcomed the new members, stating that their arrival will strengthen its ranks and bolster its commitment to championing the causes of marginalized communities. “We are building a movement that will truly represent the interests of the people,” a spokesperson for the MK Party said.

As the political landscape in KZN continues to shift, the departures from the EFF and the rise of the MK Party will be key factors to watch in the upcoming elections, as both parties compete for influence in the region and beyond.
