Political analyst from the University of Nelson Mandela University (NMU), Professor Ntsikeleko Breakfast, has described the leadership style of re-elected president of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) as one that seeks to be “worshipped like God,” arguing that it could undermine the party’s democracy and stability.
Is Julius Malema untouchable? Political analyst questions EFF president's ' God -like' leadership style
While Breakfast acknowledged that the red berets hold its elective conference every five years, he slammed its processes, describing it as ‘partial democracy.’ While Molepo cited gender equality as her main reason for her nomination, however, Breakfast questioned whether Molepo was acting in good faith or she was sent by Malema to create confusion within the party.
He said he had identified two threats facing the party, one being internal divisions fuelled by Malema’s leadership style and the other one being external competition from the MK party. Breakfast said another competition from the MK party, which he said he believes has replaced the EFF in some areas has become a major challenge.
