In just less than two months after being removed as the Public Protector, Adv Busisiwe Mkhwebane has officially announced her new political home, the red berets.

Mkhwebane held a media briefing in Mpumalanga on Monday where she said she believes the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is the right place where she can best make positive contributions in the country and the society as a whole politically.

“I joined the EFF because our people are landless. I joined the EFF because I believe that the state should be the owner… the state should create an enabling environment for the poor and marginalised, especially in economic matters,” she said.

Mkhwebane said that her decision to join the EFF was not due to any dissatisfaction stemming from her recent dismissal.

She also said that she did not join the party for positions but more because she can relate to the party and their constitution.
