Former MP Zolile Xalisa trades blows with the EFF leadership
Cape Town - The EFF and its disgruntled former MP Zolile Xalisa continued to trade blows in public on Monday. The party slammed Xalisa, who has accused the organisation's top leadership of financial mismanagement and ruling the party with an iron fist.
“The question on financial statements is an easy one. Those are public information and Parliament would not give the EFF money without audited financial statements,” said Ndlozi.Thembinkosi Rawula, who was snubbed by being left off the EFF’s National Assembly list, also resigned amid a bitter war of words over the party’s financial resources.
“I have spoken to the leadership, but it is no use. Malema is untouchable, no one within the party questions him. The EFF has 9 non-negotiable pillars. Number seven talks about accountability, of which we don't practice as the party inside. They only want to make the ANC accountable, but they are not practising what they are preaching. I cannot be part of that organisation any more,” Xalisa said.
He said they were not allowed access to these statements, and that would make it hard for him to prove his allegations against the party.
