JOHANNESBURG — Economic freedom Combatants (EFF) MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi will not attend the party’s national elective conference.

This is what was said in the street on Saturday evening, November 16, 2024, and which raised eyebrows everywhere.

Ndlozi banned from EFF elective conference

“Sunday World and City Press report that (the)EFF has banned Mbuyiseni Ndlozi from the party’s elective conference in December.”

This is how a message from X was read as the online community reacted to the shocking news, given Ndlozi’s loyalty and respect for the party.

At the beginning of October, the party leader Jules Malema laid the groundwork for the upcoming third conference, which will be held from December 12 to 15.

Malema set strict rules to ensure order at the Narec Expo Center in Johannesburg for the conference to elect new leaders following the departure of former Vice President Floyd Shivambu on August 22, 2024.

The uMkhonto Wesizwe (MK) party unveiled Shivambu as its national organizer before appointing him as its fifth secretary-general on 10 November.

Until his promotion, Shivambu had been with the party for less than three months. In brief News reported that amid all the departures, Ndlozi remained steadfast, despite what many on the outside assumed was a lack of respect from Malema.

An example of this is a message sent to X following the resignation of former party president Dali Mpofu on November 7, in which Malema wrote:

“There are only two of your favorites left, and the list will be finalized. They sing beautifully and are always ready to pose for photos and sign the appeal, but remember that their souls are long gone. For “To avoid any potential harm, it is crucial to heed the advice of leaders. We stand tall and go nowhere under the influence of a criminal syndicate,” he wrote.

If this is true, then @MbuyiseniNdlozi should contact @FloydShivambu and join MKP. No one will blame him at this point. @Julius_S_Malema started the constructive dismissal a long time ago. Ndlozi cannot become a lampooner forever. He’s a grown man. It’s time to get up. »

@Sesi_Kate added:

“If this is true, then who am I to undermine my leadership in general?! What I know is that we have strong leadership in the top five. They know what they are doing!! Ndlodzi does not will not leave the EFF before his arrival. loyalty is completely tested.

“He is a friend and spy of Blaise Compaoré (Floyd), installed to finish off the movement from the inside. He cannot be trusted. The movement must be protected from venomous individuals.”
