POPULAR Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) legislator and the party’s former national spokesperson, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, has resigned from Parliament.
The party announced his resignation on Thursday.
“The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has received the voluntary resignations of fighter Yazini Tetyana and fighter Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi as representatives of the EFF in the Parliament of South Africa,” read a press statement.
The voluntary requests to be released from deployment, which were sent to the secretary-general of the EFF (Marshall Dlamini) consecutively and within days of each other, expressed gratitude to the EFF for the opportunity to serve the organisation and the people of South Africa.
The EFF said it accepted the requests to be released from deployment, adding that they had diligently served the organisation in their respective deployments since the EFF has had representation in the legislative sphere.
Ndlozi has served in the National Assembly since 2014.
He skipped the party’s third elective congress which was held in Johannesburg in December, following reports of a fallout with party leader Julius Malema and questions about his future in the party.
Tetyana was EFF leader in the Eastern Cape and also served as a member of the Eastern Cape legislature before joining national Parliament.
“They have both been exemplary in their deployments and acted as commendable public representatives,” the EFF said as it wished them well in their future endeavours.
