The IFP Youth Brigade told party councillors to boot every EFF member out of municipal jobs in KwaZulu-Natal after Julius Malema backed a no-confidence motion against Premier Thami Ntuli. The youth wing called the EFF move opportunistic backstabbing since the Government of Provincial Unity represents actual voter preference over MK Party single-handed control, and they reminded everyone that MK only pulled 45% while sitting in opposition.
Malema claims MK deserves to run things as the biggest vote-getter with 37 seats, and he needs 41 total to yank Ntuli from office over alleged misconduct during a US trip. The motion debate happens at the legislature with tight math since the GPU coalition holds exactly 41 seats, which makes ANC defections the only path forward for the opposition to play.
Analysts figure this threatens fragile coalition setups in places like eThekwini and Msunduzi, where EFF members hold deputy mayor spots and committee chairs that could trigger retaliatory chaos.
