Earlier this year, EFF leader Julius Malema lashed out at members of his party who flip-flop, saying the organisation is “not a Holiday Inn”.
Malema said strengthening the party was not based on friendship but hard work.
“Anyone who joined another and think that they can come back here to the EFF, they are not welcomed back. Anyone who has left the EFF to wear another political party’s T-shirt is not welcomed back,” he said.
“EFF is not a Holiday Inn, where you check in and check out. There is no check in and check out here. If you check in, you check in forever. If you check out, you must go forever.”
Malema also took a jab at former members who use the party’s name to gain popularity on social media, saying the party has no time for “Facebook celebrities who insult the organisation and cost us votes”.
