Fikile Mbalula Speaks on Mbuyiseni Ndlozi Joining the ANC
ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula has weighed in on the potential political future of former EFF MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, suggesting that the door is open for him to join the African National Congress (ANC).
This comes after Mbuyiseni Ndlozi’s resignation as an EFF Member of Parliament two weeks ago.

Fikile Mbalula Welcomes the Idea of Mbuyiseni Ndlozi Joining ANC
Speaking to the media, Fikile Mbalula expressed admiration for Ndlozi’s political capabilities and hinted at the possibility of discussions between the former EFF member and the ANC.
“Mbuyiseni, are we talking to him? I don’t know; it is possible. It’s only him and him only that can speak for himself but I would not be shocked if the ANC can talk to him because he is a good member of society, and in the realm of politics, he is a good politician, so why not talk to him?,” Mbalula said.
He emphasized that Ndlozi is welcome in the ANC, particularly if he decides to continue his political career.
“If he leaves his party, why not talk to him and join the ANC and contribute to the South African body politic of the country? It looks like he was kicked out; he was shown he was of no value to his party. If he decides to be a politician and wants to remain in politics and pursue the agenda of transformation, the liberation of our people, we in the ANC are open to that he can come,” Mbalula remarked.

Criticism of the EFF and Malema
Fikile Mbalula did not hold back in his criticism of EFF leader Julius Malema, accusing him of mistreating Ndlozi.
“When his party ejects him like that, just kicking somebody like Mbuyiseni out, it means Malema is powerful and he is overconfident in himself.”
Mbalula likened Ndlozi to a “glass palace.”
“Mbuyiseni is a glass palace; he is not just a small boy, but if you are powerful, you are powerful, and if you think a glass palace like Mbuyiseni can just be kicked out like that. So there is nothing wrong for ANC members and anyone to talk to Mbuyiseni.”
Ndlozi’s Next Move
While Mbalula left the door open for Ndlozi to join the ANC, he clarified that no formal discussions have taken place yet.
Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has not yet commented on his future plans or Mbalula’s remarks. However, the ANC’s interest in him has fueled speculation about whether he will align himself with the ruling party or take a different path in South African politics.
Here are some of the reactions;

Imagine Ndlozi leaving the EFF just to go and be led by Fikile who always say things like this 😩😩😩😩😩🥹🥹🥹🥹🤭🤭🤭🤭💀💀💀💀💀
That will be the end of Ndlozi in politics 🤞💯
We all know we can’t take decisions for him but believe it or not, Ndlozi must remain in the EFF and take a break from the public to come back stronger 💯🤞
@MbuyiseloMafil1;
Ndlozi is a great activist that couldn’t be boxed in by Malema,a real revolutionary, I hope ANC will be his next political home ✊🏿✊🏿
@JoyLethabo8;
If we are being honest @MbuyiseniNdlozi must look for a job as a lecturer and wait for the best moment to make a huge come in politics. Any other move contrary to that will prove desperate and be the end of him
@drcnoxzondo;
Ndlozi deserves better than ANC. It would be a downgrade for him.
@ntokozo_eff;
It’s not like you saving him but avoiding to see him joining MKP
