Economic Freedom Fighters EFF leader Julius Malema says the decision of his partys former Chairperson Advocate Dali Mpofu to defect to the uMkhonto weSizwe Party is not surprising.
Mpofu announced his resignation from the Red Berets yesterday.
He says the MK Party is the only vehicle that can take the country forward.
But speaking on the EFF podcast, Malema said Mpofu had been advocating for a merger of the EFF and the MK Party for some time.
Malema also says he respects Mpofu for being open about all his intentions.
