January 10, 2025
The EFF confirmed the “voluntary” departure of its former national spokesperson, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, as an MP, alongside Eastern Cape legislature MPP Yazini Tetyana, on Thursday. This marks the end of Ndlozi’s vibrant 10-year career in the National Assembly. For most of his tenure in Parliament, Ndlozi was a fierce critic, relentlessly challenging both former president Jacob Zuma and current President Cyril Ramaphosa. Although often a thorn in the side of whichever Speaker had to try to reign him in, Ndlozi gained popularity with the public for his memorable parliamentary antics, particularly his humorous points of order and playful jabs at fellow MPs, calling them “sleepists”. His good looks earned him the title of “People’s Bae”. To unpack this we spoke to analyst Kanthan Pillay.
