RamaphosaLeaks | Malema expressed his support for the two former MPs, describing them as “hardworking female cadres of our movement”.

On Tuesday, the EFF released a statement, applauding the pair for “their confessions and the consequent taking of responsibility by giving up positions of leadership”.

According to the party, the manner in which they accepted blame and took responsibility “leaves the image of our movement in an even stronger position”. The party said, above all, it applauded Mokwele and Mokgosi for “insisting on keeping their membership of the organisation”, a decision it said was a “rare act in politics across the world”.

While the pair, according to the EFF, fell prey to “the enemy camp”, the party said “no amount of personal suffering must lead a revolutionary”, adding that “the enemy will always use this to achieve their own objectives against our cause”.EFF Statement On The Resignation of Commissar Mokwele And Mokgosi.
