Really? Be serious, me joining the EFF? asks Makhosi Khoza

Former ANC member Makhosi Khoza has responded to her social media followers who advised her to join the EFF.

Khoza recently took to social media to ask her followers to vote on whether she should find a new political home.

“This is part of my consultation process. I have been approached by many civil society, social movements and many individuals especially young people and women, notably feminists. So, I am testing my loyal constituency, Facebook. I have to make a final decision latest March 2018 in order to prepare well,” she said.

Some of her followers suggested political parties they thought she should join, while others advised her to start her own.

“I would like to see you debating in parliament, alongside Shivambu, Dr Ndlozi, Malema et al. Forget about this new party thing. Also we need a forum similar to the AfriForum. My dream is to see you leading that particular forum not some political party. Amen,” said one commenter.

Some disagreed with the follower, saying Khoza would not fit in with the MPs in red.

“EFF is not suitable for Dr Makhosi as its extreme left lopsided to blackness. Remember Makhosi wants to build a united organization that includes all races – a real multiracial organisation for future of South Africa,” said another.

EFF supporters who wanted Khoza their party will be disappointed to know she doesn’t see the party as her possible new home.

“There were a lot of yes’s‚ a lot of no’s and many calls for me to join the EFF. Really? Be serious‚ can you imagine me joining the EFF? I am not a communist‚ I don’t support nationalisation and I don’t share their perspective on land issues. The last thing I want to do is compromise social unity,” Khoza told TimesLive.
