A former member of the Economic Freedom Fighters, Patricia Bantom has leveled serious allegations against Julius Malema. The ex-EFF member claims that Malema’s recent statement expressing his desire to see Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, an EFF Member of Parliament, take on the role of Gauteng Premier, is essentially a demotion from the national stage to the provincial legislature.
Julius Malema’s announcement came during a recent party event where he discussed the EFF’s plans for the upcoming elections. He stated that they have a capable leader in Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, and insinuated that he might become the Premier of Gauteng.
While this statement might seem like a promotion for the EFF MP, the former member argues otherwise. She stated that this will actually be a demotion. “Basically, Julius Malema is demoting Ndlozi from parliament to legislature. He knows very well that EFF won’t perform well in Gauteng. And if he fails, which is obvious, it is over for him,” said the former EFF member.
The EFF MP, known for his fiery rhetoric and passionate speeches in Parliament, has been a prominent figure within the EFF. He has consistently been at the forefront of the party’s activities, making him a recognisable face in South African politics.
The allegations against Malema have ignited a debate among political commentators. Some argue that Malema’s proposal is a logical step to strengthen the party’s presence at the provincial level and potentially gain more power in Gauteng, South Africa’s most populous province. Others, however, share the ex-member’s concerns, seeing it as a sidelining of the member of Parliament’s national influence.
As South Africa approaches its next election cycle, the dynamics within the EFF continue to evolve. The question of whether Julius Malema’s proposal for Mbuyiseni Ndlozi represents a demotion or a strategic move to consolidate power in Gauteng remains a subject of intense debate within the party and beyond.
