The Economic Freedom Fighters ( EFF ) has announced a significant shakeup in its parliamentary leadership. Nontando Nolutshungu, the newly elected national chairperson, has been appointed as the party's Chief Whip in Parliament. This appointment comes after Floyd Shivambu resigned from the EFF to join the MK Party, necessitating a replacement. Nolutshungu, who was elected unopposed at the EFF 's third elective conference in November, takes over from Shivambu. Naledi Chirwa replaces Dr.
Mbuyiseni Ndlozi as the party's MP in Parliament. Chirwa's appointment follows a controversial period for Nolutshungu. She faced disciplinary action from the party after publicly criticizing its leadership on social media and skipping parliamentary duties to care for her sick child. Her reappointment to a key leadership position reflects the party's complex dynamics and its efforts to balance internal dissent with its broader political agenda.Malema, the EFF leader, defended the party's decision to appoint Nolutshungu, emphasizing the importance of women's representation in leadership. He also dismissed any suggestion that Nolutshungu's past actions had affected her suitability for the role. Meanwhile, some party members have expressed concerns about Nolutshungu's controversial behavior, questioning whether her appointment sends the right message about the party's values. The EFF's internal debate highlights the ongoing challenges faced by political parties in managing internal dissent while maintaining a cohesive and effective public image.
