The EFF leader has revealed some of the developments he believes may have led to Mpofu’s decision to join the MK Party.
The exodus of leaders from the country’s fourth-largest party in the National Assembly has raised fresh concerns about its future.Malema has since broken his silence on Mpofu’s defection in a podcast.
He said this includes a meeting called by former President Jacob Zuma last year between opposition parties before the 29 May elections.In the meeting, Malema said that Mpofu proposed collapsing the EFF and the other smaller parties and establishing a new party under Zuma’s leadership. "Dali is not only proposing it but he’s written it down. He’s thought about it and he wrote it down."He said in another meeting, a counter-proposal was made to merge the other parties with the EFF, a move Malema said that Zuma refused.In a brief closed-door meeting between only Malema and Zuma, Malema said he asked Zuma to endorse the EFF in the run-up to the polls and suggested finding a way forward post-elections.
At that point, Zuma revealed his plans to form a new political outfit to contest the national and provincial elections. The MK Party later made an extraordinary debut at the polls, beating the EFF in its previous spot as the third-largest party at the National Assembly. It also made massive headway in KZN."He has been open about it, he’s been speaking about it."
