David Mkhwebane Reportedly Set to Join EFF After MK Party Exit

Former uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party member David Mkhwebane is reportedly on his way to join the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), led by Julius Malema, following claims that he was dismissed from the party associated with former president Jacob Zuma.

The development, if confirmed, could mark a significant political shift for Mkhwebane as South Africa’s political parties continue positioning themselves ahead of the 2026 Local Government Elections.

According to the claims circulating about his departure, Mkhwebane was allegedly removed from the MK Party without a public announcement. However, the circumstances surrounding his reported dismissal remain unclear, and it has not been established whether the party has formally confirmed the decision.

His reported move towards the EFF could open a new chapter in his political career, particularly as Malema’s party seeks to strengthen its support base and expand its influence across the country.

The EFF has built its political identity around economic freedom, land redistribution, nationalisation of key sectors and calls for greater economic transformation. Whether Mkhwebane will officially join the red berets, however, remains subject to confirmation.

Neither the precise reasons for his alleged departure from the MK Party nor the details of any potential agreement with the EFF have been established in the information currently available.

The reported development comes at a time when political movements are preparing for the upcoming local government elections, where party membership, candidate selection and internal leadership decisions could influence campaign strategies.

For now, Mkhwebane’s alleged dismissal and reported move to the EFF should be treated as unconfirmed until an official statement is issued by the parties or Mkhwebane himself.
