BREAKING NEWS: Dali Mpofu leaves EFF to join MK Party - SABC ...
Former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Chairperson, Advocate Dali Mpofu, has joined the uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) Party.
Mpofu joined what was once the third largest party upon its formation in 2013 and served as chairperson of the Red Berets for five years from 2014.
Mpofu’s departure marks another blow for the EFF in a series of membership exodus.
In a surprise move in August, former EFF deputy president, Floyd Shivambu, left the party, also to join the almost one-year-old MK Party.
Mpofu has represented the official opposition in several legal matters in his capacity as senior counsel.
Speaking to SABC News in an exclusive interview, Mpofu says he believes the MK Party is the only vehicle to achieve unity and emancipation.
“After a lot of soul searching, I’ve taken a decision that I will be joining MK. I’m joining MK because I believe that it is the vehicle through which we will achieve the much-needed black and progressive unity so I’m doing so not necessarily to reject any other organisation but at this point in time, in November 2024, I am of the view that the vehicle through which we should drive that unity is uMkhonto we Sizwe.”
