Mbuyiseni Ndlozi Resigns From EFF

Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has officially resigned from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) after more than ten years of membership, announcing his complete exit from politics.

In an interview with the SABC, Ndlozi put an end to months of speculation regarding his standing in the party.

Suspension and Allegations

Ndlozi revealed that he had been suspended from the EFF six weeks before the National People’s Assembly (NPA) in what he described as an unconventional process.

He stated that the first allegation against him was that he had been working with Jacob Zuma’s MK Party, a claim he strongly denied.

The second count, he explained, was based on the accusation that he had prior knowledge of Floyd Shivambu’s departure from the EFF but failed to inform party leadership.

Ndlozi stated: “I have taken a decision to step away completely from party politics. I’m leaving party politics. I think I have made my contribution in that space. We don’t live in a one party state. We are not in the camps, we are not a band.

“Politics are a free activity in South Africa. And party politics are not a monopoly of making social contribution. I think after this episode, I’ve taken a decision to leave all of party politics and contribute in the first instance to the academy.”

He added: “I have handed over my resignation. I have left the EFF, I have left party politics. EFF is a political party. I have handed over my resignation as a member and it is because where I want to go and contribute, I can’t hold a single party membership.

“But overall I think that I’ve made my contribution and I think that there are brilliant young men and women, old men and women in the space that will continue in that category, as it were, of party politics.”
