According to journalist @TheRealClementM, Morolane, who left the EFF to join the MK Party on Wednesday, said he left because he was tired of outsourcing his brains to Malema and was not happy about how he handled migration.

Morolane said Malema's approach to the issue of migration was not right. He also pointed fingers at Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, who he said elevated the discussion.

"The messaging is wrong. You can't have a United States of Africa in a chaotic way," he said.

He also added that it was the EFF that posited that MK Party president Jacob Zuma was a delinquent and anyone who tried to argue against it was unsuccessful.

Some South Africans were certain EFF members were too scared to share this sentiment publicly, and others commented that the EFF was dying.

Schwarzenegger Chauke said:

"Many EFF members feel that way, but they are afraid of leaving the comfort zone."

Michael said:

"At the centre of EFF's electoral decline is the party's stance on illegal immigrants. Their obituary is already drafted and saved at this stage, waiting to be despatched."

Nathan said:

"Politicians are dishonest. It's surprising that Maklema is blamed for migration when ANC is in charge of the borders now, and Juju is not in power."

Tat'uRadebe said:

"I have seen fighters on these streets who have strong views on illegal immigrants. We warned Juju that his views on illegal immigrants are going to hurt him."

Jakalasi said:

"Julius Malema is a sellout. He uses South African voters' power to defend illegal immigrants."
