Former EFF chairperson, Advocate Dali Mpofu, is confident that the uMkhonto we Sizwe Party will survive the test of time.
He has sought to dispel the notion that the official opposition is a regional party that largely appeals to voters in KwaZulu-Natal and that it will not outlive its leader, former President Jacob Zuma.After securing a victory in KwaZulu-Natal and doing well in Mpumalanga and Gauteng during the May polls, the party now seeks to gain firm ground in Limpopo and the Eastern Cape.
“So, the base of uMkhonto we Sizwe obviously is in KZN for obvious reasons. We can’t run away from the fact that former President Zuma, the person whose brainchild it was, comes from there, has always had a big base – even the ANC exploited that base. But one thing that former President Zuma was always adamant about is that he does not want an ethnic party, he does not want an only party. That is why the announcement was on the 16th of December, and I was part of that planning in Gauteng.
Meanwhile, Mpofu says he has not yet relayed the news of his departure from the EFF to its leader, Julius Malema. Malema has on various occasions stressed the importance of loyalty and brotherhood in public engagements.
