Malema takes swipe at Ndlozi following his absence from EFF's elective conference

JOHANNESBURG - Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has once again taken a swipe at one of the party's most well-known figures, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, stating that anyone absent from the party's elective conference cannot be considered a leader.

Malema was delivering his closing remarks at the EFF's National People's Assembly at Nasrec in Johannesburg on Sunday.

Ndlozi was notably absent from the three-day event, with reports suggesting that he had been banned from attending.

All this followed in the wake of Floyd Shivambu's shock EFF departure.

"All leaders of the EFF are here in front. There is no leader of the EFF who is not here in front. There is no leader of the EFF who is not here in Nasrec. If they are not here, they are not leaders of the EFF. You must never regard them as the leaders of the EFF."
