Former EFF MP Kenny Motsamai has left the EFF and joined the PA.
He said he felt bullied by younger members. Motsamai and other EFF leaders, including national organiser and MP Patrick Sindane and leaders of the Dudula civic organisation have joined the Patriotic Alliance (PA).
Motsamai and Sindane did not make it onto the EFF lists for parliament or provincial legislatures after the 29 May elections.
At a PA media briefing in Sandton on Thursday, Motsamai said he was sidelined and bullied at the EFF.
“I don’t want to be bullied or told what is right or wrong when I know what is right and wrong,” he said.
Motsamai hopes the PA will address land issues and fight illegal immigration.
Sindane, who resigned from the National Assembly in December because he faces charges of rape, said he left the EFF two weeks ago.
Sindane’s rape case was postponed to August on Monday in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court.
“I have played my part at the EFF, but it is my time to serve elsewhere,” he said.
PA deputy president Kenny Kunene is happy that more people recognise his party.
“We are now a home for many people who thought we started this party as a hobby. We want to see more members of political parties like the Congress of the People joining us,” he said.
