Ndlozi served in the National Assembly since 2014 while Tetyana served in the Eastern Cape provincial legislature and subsequently the parliament. The EFF said it has accepted the resignation of the duo.
“The EFF has accepted the respective voluntary requests to be released from the deployment of the two fighters, who have diligently served the organisation in their respective deployments since the EFF has had representation in the legislative sphere.”
