FAMOUSLY known as the “People’s Bae” and for his parliamentary humour, outgoing EFF MP Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi took to X to thank the party and the public, saying “Sibonge umbutho wabantu. Ndinithanda nonke emakhaya.”

Translated, he meant: “I thank the people’s party. I love you all at home.”

Ndlozi resigned as an EFF MP on Thursday. In a statement, the party confirmed that he had submitted his resignation, emphasizing that it was voluntary.

Fellow member Yazini Tetyana has submitted his resignation as well, the party said.

This decision left people speculating about his next move.

In December, Ndlozi updated his X bio, removing “EFF Commissar and Member of Parliament.”

EFF commander in chief Julius Malema said he was not a leader, not bigger than the EFF and described him as someone full of ego.

This situation was fuelled by former deputy president Floyd Shivambu’s resignation last year in August.

It was discovered that Ndlozi knew all along about Shivambu’s plans to leave the party and did not tell his boss.

In response to this, Malema said he would never trust and work with anyone who kept such secrets from him.

Social media users have called on Ndlozi to terminate his party membership, claiming his relationship with Malema has visibly fallen apart.

Others said Ndlozi endured disrespect from Malema and it was time to exit the party. Ndlozi was also barred from attending the EFF’s elective conference in December in Soweto.

“Am I the only one who’s happy for Dr Ndlozi? He’s endured quite a lot of disrespect from Malema as an EFF member. FINALLY,” posted Sphelele Mazibuko on X.

Gretchen Ndou added: “Ndlozi was waiting for Malema to recover a little bit and hurt him again or?”
