Malema Takes Aim at Mbuyiseni Ndlozi After EFF Veteran Admits He Did Not Vote

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has taken a swipe at former party member Mbuyiseni Ndlozi following his public admission that he did not participate in the November 4, 2026, local government elections.

Ndlozi reportedly explained that he chose not to vote because he was deeply unhappy with what he described as the conduct of black South Africans.

His comments have attracted attention, particularly given his previous prominent role within the EFF and his involvement in South African politics.

Malema has since reacted to Ndlozi’s decision, using the opportunity to criticise his former political ally over his failure to participate in the electoral process.

The exchange has added another chapter to the strained relationship between the two political figures, whose political differences have continued to attract public interest.

Ndlozi was previously one of the most recognisable faces of the EFF and served as its national spokesperson before his relationship with the party leadership deteriorated.

His latest admission has also reopened discussions about political participation, voter dissatisfaction and the responsibility of political leaders to encourage citizens to exercise their democratic rights.

While Ndlozi believes his dissatisfaction with the behaviour of some black South Africans influenced his decision not to vote, Malema’s response has brought renewed attention to the disagreement between the two men.

The incident comes at a time when South Africa’s political parties are assessing their performance following the local government elections, with voter turnout and declining support becoming important subjects of debate.

The public exchange has once again placed the former EFF allies in the spotlight, as their differences continue to generate reactions within South African political circles.
