Cape Town – Leader of the EFF Julius Malema has dismissed questions about the absence of Mbuyiseni Ndlozi at the party’s third National People’s Assembly (NPA)
Malema addressed the media on Saturday at the Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg.
Malema rejected the idea of discussing Ndlozi’s absence, insisting it was not in the party’s interest.
Reports suggested Ndlozi had been barred from attending due to growing calls for him to be elected to a top leadership position.

Malema criticised the media for focusing on Ndlozi, pointing out that most attendees were present, and emphasised that the conference would proceed without him.
“We are not going to answer the question on Mbuyiseni Ndlozi. You’ve got his number and some of you talk to him. Call him. I’m not responsible for Mbuyiseni Ndlozi. Ninety percent of the people who are here, who are expected to be here, are here. That’s what matters.
“Whoever is not here, was not supposed to be here, from the beginning. So, you are not going to reduce this organisation to some individual. We are going to refuse that,” Malema said.
