Julius Malema just turned up the heat and he didn’t hold back. During a recent address to Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) members, the party leader appeared to throw serious shade at his former comrade, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, sparking speculation with a fiery remark that felt like more than just a coincidence.
Ndlozi, once a prominent voice within the EFF, exited the political stage in February after a turbulent fallout with Malema. The former party spokesperson had faced suspension and internal conflict before ultimately deciding to step away from politics entirely. He later opened up about his departure on Podcast and Chill, saying he harbored no ill will toward Malema and vowed never to badmouth the EFF leader.

But it seems Malema had a different take.
In a no-nonsense speech aimed at disciplining unruly behavior within the party, Malema lashed out at leaders scrambling for positions, accusing them of putting personal ambition ahead of the people’s needs. Then came the jab that set social media buzzing.
“We won’t allow this. You guys will end up working at radio stations—and I heard Moletji radio is hiring,” Malema quipped, drawing laughter and gasps from the crowd.
While he didn’t name names, many took the remark as a direct hit at Ndlozi, who recently resurfaced in the public sphere not in politics, but behind the mic at Power FM. The timing and reference were too sharp to ignore.
Malema doubled down with another comment dripping in sarcasm: “Relax, you’re still young, your time will come. Don’t disrupt EFF branches or we’ll chase you and you’ll start speaking good English.”
These comments come amid internal restructuring within the EFF following the party’s poor performance in the 2024 elections, especially in KwaZulu-Natal and the National Assembly. Malema partly blamed the losses on what he called a “tactical entanglement” that dulled the party’s edge.
As the EFF braces for a comeback, Malema’s message is loud and clear: step in line, or you might be stepping into a radio booth next.
