Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has allegedly returned to the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) as its mayoral candidate for the City of Johannesburg, following his departure from Power FM. Ndlozi, a former EFF spokesperson and Member of Parliament, had joined Power FM in March 2025, hosting the weekday 9am to 12pm show, Power Talk. His exit from the radio station marks another significant shift in his career, which has been defined by reinvention.
Ndlozi's potential return to politics is notable, especially with the upcoming local government elections. As a prominent figure in South African politics, his experience as an EFF MP and spokesperson could give the party an edge in Johannesburg. Some EFF grassroots members have been calling for Ndlozi's return, citing his popularity and potential to challenge former Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba.
The move comes as a surprise, given the bitter circumstances surrounding his departure from the party. Ndlozi was booted out of the EFF in a bitter internal fallout, with party leader Julius Malema publicly lashing out at him. However, some members believe bringing Ndlozi back could reignite the party's energy and set the stage for a bruising showdown in Johannesburg.
Ndlozi's candidacy is likely to be a significant development in the city's politics, with the EFF aiming to make gains in the upcoming elections. The party has not yet officially confirmed Ndlozi's nomination, but his experience and popularity make him a strong contender.
