Home | Malema not surprised by Mpofu’s decision to join MK Party Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says the decision of his party’s former Chairperson Advocate Dali Mpofu to defect to the uMkhonto weSizwe Party is not surprising. Mpofu announced his resignation from the Red Berets yesterday. He says the MK Party is the only vehicle that can take the country forward.
But speaking on the EFF podcast, Malema said Mpofu had been advocating for a merger of the EFF and the MK Party for some time. Malema also says he respects Mpofu for being open about all his intentions. “There was a meeting of the opposition parties which was called by [Jacob] Zuma, so I asked Floyd [Shivambu] and Marshall [Dlamini] to attend .
.. they went and Dali was there.
Dali went to make a presentation of a paper in that first meeting, where he said the EFF must close down with the other parties and then form something under Zuma’s leadership,” he explains in the podcast. “I said but that’s madness, you can’t do that. So that’s the thing I respect about Dali.
Because he’s been open about it. So when I woke up to the news, I was like it is what it is. So this has never been a shock to me, it was just about when is it going to happen,” adds Malema.
