EFF MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi’s political future within the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has come into question following public remarks by former DA MP Phumzile Van Damme. Van Damme recently advised Ndlozi to consider leaving the EFF, describing alleged treatment by EFF leader Julius Malema as “degrading.”
Posting on social media, Van Damme highlighted instances where Malema allegedly disrespected and undermined Ndlozi. She urged Ndlozi to leave the EFF for a political environment that values his contributions and respects his dignity.
Despite the advice, Ndlozi responded by reiterating his commitment to the EFF’s mission. He acknowledged facing challenges but emphasized that his loyalty to the party and its revolutionary goals remains unwavering.
The exchange has fueled a larger conversation about internal tensions within South Africa’s political parties and raised questions about how these dynamics may affect the EFF’s unity and future direction.
