Former member of parliament Public Protector Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane has officially left the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
Busisiwe’s departure from the party comes months after Deputy President of EFF Floyd Shivambu, left the party to join former president Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe.
As per reports by Mail & Guardian, before joining the EFF she served as the country’s public protector but was later removed after she posted most of her cases with the state.
In a letter circulating online regarding her resignation from EFF, she said, “Today, I’m saying goodbye to you, Fighters. After careful consideration and talking to my family, they advised and felt I needed to go away. Spend time with them, rest, and continue to fight for the vulnerable where possible.
“In my time of need, you Fighters extended a helping hand, becoming a refuge for me over the past 12 months. Your unwavering support has been a beacon of hope, and for that, I am deeply grateful. Now, it is time for me to focus on spending cherished moments with my family.”
