Actor and EFF leader Fana Mokoena steps down from Parliament and leadership obligations

Actor and EFF leader Fana Mokoena.


Internationally acclaimed actor and EFF leader Fana Mokoena resigned from Parliament and the party's Central Command Team on 17 October.


Mokoena’s resignation comes a day after former Public Protector Adv Busi Mkhwebane announced her resignation. Mokoena was sworn in as an MP during the seventh administration.


South Africans have witnessed the exodus of members from the EFF who are looking for a political home because they are of a view that their President Julius Malema is a monocratic leader who doesn’t want to relinquish power.


EFF’s co-founder and former deputy president Floyd Shivambu earlier served Malema with divorce papers to join former President Jacob Zuma’s new political toy MK Party which emerged as the third largest opposition party in the country which moved the EFF to fourth position during the provincial and national elections this year.  Mzwanele Manyi also resigned from the EFF to join Zuma’s MK Party.


Manyi said during MK’s press conference will recruit the embattled Mkhwebane to join the MK Party.
