Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has predicted that all former members who left the party—including high-profile figures now with the MK Party—will eventually seek to rejoin. Speaking on the *King David Podcast*, Malema insisted that ex-members like Floyd Shivambu, Dali Mpofu, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, and Mzwanele Manyi would “realise their mistakes” and return.
The departure of these prominent figures, some of whom held top positions in the EFF, has fueled political debate. Shivambu (former deputy president), Mpofu (ex-national chairperson), and others left for the MK Party, raising questions about internal party dynamics.
Malema’s comments signal confidence in the EFF’s enduring appeal, framing the exits as temporary setbacks rather than lasting defections. Analysts view his stance as both a reassurance to supporters and a challenge to detractors.
Whether the former members will return remains uncertain, but Malema’s bold claim ensures the saga will stay in public discourse. Political observers are watching closely to see if his prediction holds weight.
