South Africans in disbelief

Netizens on Facebook got into a hot discussion about what this resignation meant for the Red Berets.

"The EFF are not only in Parliament. Even on municipality levels. It doesn't rain, but it pours."

Malan KR said:

"EFF's fault was to sideline hardworking EFF members and take every reject straight to Parliament."

Litaba Samuel Molele asked:

"Can someone tell me what's wrong with the EFF this year?"

Rabalao Vladimir Mogolane said:

"All because Malema is going for a third term as president and is crushing everyone with a different view to his."
