The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP Carl Niehaus has slammed Mzwanele Manyi for dumping the party and ditching Julius Malema, who stood by him during tough times.<\/p>\n
The EFF endured a massive hit on August 15, when deputy president Floyd Shivambu and Mzwanele Manyi swapped their red berets for the spears of the uMkhonto weSizwe party.<\/p>\n
Manyi is not new to political shifts – over the last five years, he’s hopped from the ANC to the ATM, then to the EFF, and now he’s joined Jacob Zuma\u2019s MK party.<\/p>\n
The EFF, already reeling from recent troubles, endured another hit two months ago when senior MPs Patrick Sindane and Kenny Motsamai ditched the red berets for Gayton McKenzie\u2019s Patriotic Alliance (PA).<\/p>\n
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Niehaus lashed out at Manyi on the social media platform after Manyi posted a photo of himself with Zuma.<\/p>\n
In the picture, Manyi is seen grinning and shaking hands with Jacob Zuma, the leader of the eight-month-old MK party.<\/p>\n
Niehaus responded to Manyi\u2019s and wrote: \u201c@MzwaneleManyi I am sad to say this, but I have to say it: Your conduct lacks integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said that during Manyi’s difficult times, EFF leader Julius Malema extended a hand and welcomed him into the party.<\/p>\n
\n@MzwaneleManyi<\/a> I am sad to say this, but I have to say it: Your conduct lacks integrity. At a difficult time in your life the #CommanderInChief<\/a>, @Julius_S_Malema<\/a>, accepted you, embraced you in the @EFFSouthAfrica<\/a>, and was good to you. This is not the way to say thank you. https:\/\/t.co\/OkQy5Y8w20<\/p>\n
