JOHANNESBURG — An Economic Freedom Fighters Student Command (EFFSC) member found himself out in the cold after his party expelled him after he disagreed with President Julius Malema online.

Malema and member twar

Kganki Mphahlele's membership was terminated after he tweeted on his account, @Absolute_Kganki, slamming Malema and accusing him of trying to impose former secretary general and head of international relations Godrich Gardee as the party's deputy spokesperson. Floyd Shivambu left the position vacant after he resigned from the party.

Mphahlele said EFF branches wanted Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi as the deputy president and said Malema must not start a war with the branches. Malema responded and taunted Mphahlele.

"Try me, boys," he said.

Mphahlele responded that Malema was untouchable and could not hegemonise the political space.

Mphahlele showed the door

In a statement Mphahlele shared, the EFF expelled him after accusing him of insulting and defaming the EFF and its leaders in public, bringing the organisation into disrepute on social media and violating nine sections of the EFFSC Code of Conduct and Revolutionary Discipline.

Mphahlele doubles down

In a statement, Mphahlele defended his stance and refuted claims he was an MK Party agent. He said the expulsion was more about a personal vendetta Juju and his close followers waged. He then claimed in subsequent comments that his life was under threat, and he received threats of harm allegedly from other EFF members.
