Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) national spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi took to social media on Wednesday morning to complain about eNCA. He claimed that the channel did not play a single bulletin of his party’s CIC Julius Malema’s debate on land expropriation in parliament on Tuesday, but would have given his party headlines if it was calling for President Jacob Zuma to fall.
“When we call for Zuma to fall EFF gets headlines on @eNCA. But when we calling for land expropriation they don’t even put it in bulletins,” he said.
Some of his followers agreed with his sentiments, accusing the channel of “dividing blacks”.
However, ‘sushi king’ and businessman Kenny Kunene shared his thoughts on the matter, telling Ndlozi that his party was the channel’s tool against the president.
“I don’t blame you because you don’t know their arrangements with your bosses,” he said.
Kunene has previously called Malema a “sellout”, further accusing him of having met Lord Robin Renwick in London [the supposed bosses of the party that Ndlozi should be complaining about, not the channel].
He said that Malema deserved the “sellout” tag because, after his meeting, he appeared to have changed his views in three ways: he changed his tune on being a supporter of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe. He also charged that Malema was acting in the interests of Western powers and “white monopoly capital” by trampling on the legacy of Mandela because of the alleged view that this would help to diminish support for the ANC. He also alleged that an agreement must have been ironed out for the EFF to agree to support the DA against the ANC.
He said Malema used to call EFF spokesperson Ndlozi “a blank” after meeting him for an interview to be the spokesperson.
“He told Floyd: ‘You have brought us a blank, but it’s fine, I will transform this blank to make him a revolutionary.’”
