EFF leader Julius Malema has likened the party’s mass exodus by some of its prominent senior members to an assassination attempt . His comments come as prominent figures like Floyd Shivambu, Dali Mpofu, Mzwanele Manyi and Busisiwe Mkhwebane have deserted the party to join uMkhonto weSizwe led by Jacob Zuma .ahead of the party’s third national people’s assembly next month.
“Perhaps we must be thankful that the path to desert us was chosen instead. Perhaps we must be thankful that we did not die. But we must register today and for future generations to remember that the deserting of the EFF at this critical moment in our liberation struggle constitutes an assassination attempt. It is time for important fighters to not individualise even this moment of infiltration and betrayal of the EFF,” says Malema.
Malema has taken jabs at uMkhonto weSizwe leader, Jacob Zuma, saying that the party will not sell the future generation for the former ANC President’s dreams.Malema’s comments come after his revelation that former EFF Chairperson Adv Dali Mpofu proposed that the EFF must be dissolved to join the MK Party.“So, how do you say you can unite people when you are 82 years old? We have been failing to unite them for the past 82 years.
Next month, the EFF will host its national people’s assembly at Nasrec, where a new leadership will be elected.
