JOHANNESBURG — Online sleuths think they have cracked a cryptic social media post from Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Member of Parliament (MP) Mbuyiseni Ndlozi.
This is amid rife speculation of the EFF senior member's possible exit, trailing recently departed party founding member Secretary-General Floyd Shivambu.
Ndlozi's cryptic post boosts exit chatter
Shivambu announced on Thursday, 15 August, that his time with the Red Berets had ended after he decided against renewing his membership.
Instead, he said he was joining Jacob Zuma's newly formed uMkhonto Wesizwe (MK) Party.
At the media briefing in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, the EFF's firebrand leader Julius Malema confirmed receiving and accepting Shivambu's resignation.
The explosive developments of the past week have since sparked chatter about the possibility of a Ndlozi exit.
The staunch fighter's captionless X post on Wednesday did little to quieten the rumblings.
He shared a photo of himself looking poker-faced as he sat in an EFF T-shirt, holding a mic to his mouth.
Online sleuths interpreted it as a subliminal message pointing to an impending announcement, possibly of his departure.
He had supposedly tendered his resignation earlier in an unverified letter circulated online. However, there has been no official announcement from Ndlozi or the EFF, which quashed the letter's authenticity.
SA looks on in anticipation
Ndlozi's post attracted over 1.5 million views, garnering 23000 likes, 3600 reposts and over 2000 replies.
Briefly News looks at the energised responses.
