EFF's Mbuyiseni Ndlozi asks Zuma to quit politics

TimesLIVE Podcasts

The EFF’s Mbuyiseni Ndozi says his party’s friend, MK Party leader Jacob Zuma, must go home and rest because he had his chance in government for two decades.
Ndlozi asked what the former president would do now that he could not do while he was president.
Zuma was president from 2009 to 2018 in what critics have dubbed "the nine wasted years".
He is planning to return to government as president to “fix things” and drastically change South African laws. They could be homophobic. Zuma has questioned the legalisation of same-sex relationships, referring to it as a disgrace. He would exile teen parents to Robben Island. Every matriculant would go to university to join the army. Those are some of the rules he proposes if elected.
EFF leader Julius Malema had said they welcome Zuma into the political space, warning him of challenges of forming a political party.
The EFF were strong critics of Zuma during his tenure as president when corruption allegations regarding his Nkandla homestead came to the fore. That was until Malema had a tea party with Zuma in 2021.
Election analysts such as Dawie Scholtz and Wayne Sussman say the EFF has been a victim of the MK Party, losing voters to it.
