Picture: EFF/X EFF leader Julius Malema has confirmed that his party will support the no-confidence motion against KwaZulu-Natal premier Thami Ntuli. Ntuli faces a motion of no confidence vote on Monday at the KwaZulu-Natal legislature in Pietermaritzburg.
In a media briefing on Thursday, Malema said his party will support Ntuli’s removal. “The secretary-general has been assigned to go to KZN to make sure that the motion succeeds, and we call on the Umkhonto weSizwe Party to call on Jacob Zuma to come to those negotiations. “Because the problem is that you talk to them and you agree, it takes weeks for them to come back and execute because they are still looking for Jacob Zuma, who is nowhere to be found.
“So, if they are serious about that motion, Zuma must be part of those negotiations right from tomorrow and over the weekend,” he said. Malema said the EFF will even try to convince the ANC to vote Ntuli out despite the ANC being in a coalition with the IFP and the DA in KwaZulu-Natal. “We will speak to the ANC if they are prepared to speak to us formally, but if they do not want to speak to us formally, nothing stops us from speaking to ANC members, individuals of the legislature, to speak to their conscience and do what is right for the people of KZN.” Malema said that while the EFF and the MK party do not see eye to eye on certain issues, he believes the party should govern in KZN because it received more votes than any other party in the 2024 elections.

“Who am I to determine what the people of KZN want? They have spoken about what they want; they have given us the direction, and we ought to respect that if we respect democracy. “If the MKP gets into government and becomes corrupt and mismanages the government of KZN, we are there to hold them accountable to fight with them,” he said.
