Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has declared the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) “dead,” launching a scathing attack on the party led by former President Jacob Zuma.

Speaking at a recent political gathering, Malema questioned the longevity and structural integrity of the MKP, suggesting that the party lacks the necessary foundation to sustain itself in the long term.

The MKP is a project that was designed to fail from the start, and it is already showing signs of collapse. It is a party built on personality rather than policy, and that is why it is dead.

Malema’s comments come amidst ongoing political tensions between the EFF and the MKP, as both parties compete for influence within the South African political landscape.

The EFF leader further criticized the leadership style within the MKP, claiming that the party’s reliance on Zuma’s image is a strategic weakness that will ultimately lead to its irrelevance in future elections.
