The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have forcefully denied rumors that one of their most prominent members, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, has resigned from the party. The speculation about Ndlozi’s potential departure gained traction on social media on Wednesday, with his name trending as users widely shared the unverified claims.
The rumours come at a time of significant political shifts within South Africa, most notably the recent departure of Floyd Shivambu from the EFF to join the newly formed MK Party. Shivambu’s exit has left a noticeable void in the EFF, sparking concerns and speculation about possible fractures within the party’s leadership. Many have wondered whether Ndlozi, who has been a key figure in the EFF since its inception, might be the next to leave.
However, EFF national spokesperson Leigh Ann Mathys swiftly dismissed these rumors, responding to the buzz with a single, decisive word on X: “Rubbish!” This clear and direct rebuttal highlights the party’s stance on maintaining unity and combating the narratives that seek to destabilize its leadership.
As the EFF navigates these turbulent times, the focus remains on how the party will manage internal dynamics and the potential impact of Shivambu’s departure on its future. For now, Ndlozi remains a central figure in the EFF, despite the swirling rumours.
