Social media reaction

Social media users have reacted with shock, sparking debate over the alarming claims.

@ChrisExcel102 asked:

"Okay but do you agree with what’s written there or not ?"

@sukoluhle0101 said:

"The R200 budget for anti-EFF propaganda is really showing its age. Imagine thinking Mbuyiseni would post a whole Dear Diary gossip session on X. The handwriting of the logic here is clearly from the desk of a desperate troll. If you’re going to lie, at least try to match the man’s vocabulary."

@maraporapo_10 said:

"Whoever believed that needs to be put in an asylum."

"People are desperate to see you fighting iNyamazane dokotela. What will they gain from that?"

@XolaniMamkeli stated:

"I told them that is not your style. This is very fake. I know you!"

Malema speaks on possible Ndlosi return

The statement comes just days after Ndlozi defended General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, following Malema’s remarks labelling him a coward. However, previously, Julius Malema claimed he would 'roll out the red carpet' should Ndlozi decide to return to the EFF. Malema, sang the praises of the former member after Ndlozi had left the party in February 2025. Malema said Ndlozi never took on the T-shirt of another political party, so the position of the EFF is clear: once you leave the EFF and put on the T-shirt of another political party, you cannot come back.
