Malema Takes Aim at Mbuyiseni Ndlozi After Former EFF MP Reveals He Did Not Vote

Former EFF party member Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi came under fire from president Julius Malema after admitting he did not run in the 2026 local elections.

Ndlozi acknowledged on *Daily Thetha* on SABC1 that he had not voted in the most recent municipal elections, when he made the announcement.

Given his high profile in South African politics and his history of association with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), his admission was sure to get notice.

The news prompted Malema to react by casting doubt on Ndlozi’s choice and speculating that his political expression had been impacted by his expulsion from the EFF.

You will never be able to leave EFF and seem regular, I warn you all the time. If you don’t vote, how come you consider it normal? According to Malema, you have an inflated sense of self-importance.

The head of the EFF also wanted to know how Ndlozi could tell former president Thabo Mbeki he wasn’t voting without getting a stern reply.

“If Thabo Mbeki doesn’t react to you and makes it clear that what you’re saying is the most ridiculous thing ever, how can you possibly inform him that you’re considering not voting?” “Is this enough?” Malema enquired.

The public is becoming more concerned about Ndlozi’s political stance since he left the EFF, and his comments reflect that.

Among the party’s former notable public leaders, Ndlozi was a renowned Member of Parliament who was known for his insightful political analysis and valuable contributions to legislative discussions.

Politicians are talking about his choice not to vote today, particularly while the 2026 election results are being analysed by the various parties.

A fresh focus on the dynamics between the EFF’s current and past members has emerged as a result of Malema’s criticism.

Except for his affirmation during the TV appearance, the material given does not offer a clear explanation of Ndlozi’s decision not to vote.
