EFF Advocate Dali Mpofu Rejects Claims of Proposing Party Merger

Advocate Dali Mpofu denies allegations that he proposed the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) should merge with the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party. He clarifies that he only suggested the unification of progressive political parties.

JOHANNESBURG - Advocate Dali Mpofu has rejected allegations that he proposed that the Economic Freedom Fighters should shut down and merge with the uMkhonto weSizwe Party.

Earlier in November, EFF leader Julius Malema claimed on a podcast that Mpofu was among those advocating for a merger between the MK Party and the EFF.On an EFF podcast, Malema alleged that Mpofu wanted the red berets to become one with the MK Party to unite progressive forces. "There was a meeting of opposition parties that Zuma called. Dali went to make a presentation of a paper in that first meeting, where he said the EFF must close down with the other parties and then form something under Zuma's leadership. We said: 'No ways, it’s not going to happen,'" Malema said."This nonsense that I said parties must collapse into MK is a lie. It did not happen. It's just something that never happened, but as I said, we will deal with it.

Mpofu has clarified that he only proposed the unification of progressive political parties, and not necessarily a merger with the MK Party.
