Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has officially resigned from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) after a turbulent period marked by his suspension from the party. The former EFF Member of Parliament (MP) broke his silence about the suspension, which had kept him absent from the party’s national leadership elective conference in December.
Ndlozi revealed that he had been suspended about six weeks before the conference, describing the move as “unconventional” and arguing that it did not align with the party’s code of conduct or constitution. The suspension followed allegations that he was involved with the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party, a claim that has sparked controversy within the EFF.
The MK party, led by former president Jacob Zuma, has recently seen several notable figures leave the EFF, including Dali Mpofu, Mzwanele Manyi, and former public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane. This exodus has only fueled speculation about Ndlozi’s future within the EFF, particularly following the defection of former deputy president Floyd Shivambu to MK in August of the previous year.
Speaking in a recent interview, Ndlozi shared his perspective, claiming that the leadership’s accusation of his association with MK played a key role in his suspension. He also pointed out the ongoing rift, citing EFF leader Julius Malema’s comments, in which Malema stated that he has “no personal relationship” with Ndlozi.
As Ndlozi exits the EFF, the party faces further scrutiny, and the unfolding drama raises questions about its future trajectory, especially amid internal divisions and leadership disputes.
