Former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has been announced as the new host of PowerFM’s flagship show, *#PowerTalk*. Ndlozi made the announcement on February 14, 2025, during an interview with Given Mkhari on *The Chairman’s Conversation*. He is set to take over the reins of the popular talk show on March 3, 2025, marking a new chapter for the program.
During the announcement, Ndlozi reflected on the political landscape, highlighting the achievements and challenges faced by key figures in South African politics. He praised Julius Malema, Floyd Shivambu, and Fikile Mbalula, stating, “Those three individuals command 63% of the political conversation. They have attained the objectives of the 2011 Youth League Conference. Those three individuals could get in a room, slowly but surely, and say, ‘Comrades, the first duty of a revolutionary is to be selfless.’”
Ndlozi also addressed the current struggles of these leaders, noting, “Floyd Shivambu is in the MK Party as the Secretary-General and has many troubles. Fikile Mbalula has more troubles in the ANC, and Julius Malema has troubles in the EFF.” His comments underscored the complexities and internal challenges facing South Africa’s political parties.
Ndlozi’s appointment as the host of #PowerTalk has generated significant interest, given his reputation as a fiery and articulate political commentator. His tenure as an EFF MP and his role as the party’s spokesperson have made him a prominent figure in South African politics, known for his sharp analysis and unapologetic stance on issues of social justice and economic transformation.
The move to PowerFM marks a new phase in Ndlozi’s career, as he transitions from active politics to media and public discourse. His debut on March 3, 2025, is highly anticipated, with many expecting him to bring his trademark passion and incisive commentary to the show.
As Ndlozi steps into this new role, all eyes will be on how he navigates the intersection of media and politics, and whether his presence will reshape the tone and direction of #PowerTalk. For now, his appointment signals a fresh and dynamic approach to one of South Africa’s most influential talk shows.
