Nhlamulo Ndhlela is set to resign as a member of Parliament (MP) for the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party.

Ndhlela confirmed that he will be stepping down in due course to focus on his other roles, but South Africans think it’s to make way for Mbuyiseni Ndlozi from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

Ndhlela is currently the MK Party’s spokesperson and a member of its national high command.

Ndhlela to focus on other roles

Speaking about his decision, Ndhlela said it was to focus on his role as full-time party spokesperson. He also planned to focus more on his responsibilities as an official in the MK Party's top eight and his position as a member of its national high command.

"The party is still a young party, and it needs us to be present to build on it. Naturally, with 2026 near, we have to get into campaign mode. Therefore, it needs all resources and hands on deck," Ndhlela said.

Mzansi has an idea why Ndhlela is resigning

While the MK Party spokesperson has explained his reasons, many social media users think the move is to make way for Dr Ndlozi.

Many expect the EFF member to ditch the Red Berets and join Floyd Shivambu at Jacob Zuma’s party.

“So, they're waiting for Dr Ndlozi. Where are those who canvassed for MK kanti?”
