Former South African opposition EFF chairperson Dali Mpofu has joined the MK Party led by ex-president Jacob Zuma.
In an interview with the SABC this morning, Mpofu said his decision was based the realisation that the MK was the only organisation that could unite progressive forces and ensure emancipation.
This followed the recent defection of former EFF vice president Floyd Shivambu to MK, now its national organising secretary, and other cadres.
Dismissing a suggestion that this could be an indication of problems with EFF leader Julius Malema, Mpofu said the move was “nothing personal”, but something he was “doing for his people”.
Malema earlier today on X (Twitter) wrote: “Only two more of your favourites remain, and the list will be finalised. They sing beautifully and are always willing to pose for pictures and sign roll calls, but remember, their souls are long gone. To prevent any potential hurt, it’s crucial to heed the guidance of the leadership. We remain standing and are not going anywhere under a criminal syndicate.”
