EFF: We’ve lost two talented leaders
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has lamented the loss of what it calls two talented and hard-working members following the resignations of MPs Tebogo Mokwele and Nkagisang Mokgosi.
The duo resigned from Parliament and the political party's central command team after they admitted to receiving money from President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Mokwele explained that her resignation followed "a deep and careful introspection about the impact of my association with the President of the ANC and the Republic in which there was an exchange of money for my personal use; a total of R80 000 between 2017 and 2019".
EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi says both have taken responsibility for their actions.

"We applaud them for their confessions and consequence and taking of responsibility by giving up positions of leadership.
"Above all, we applaud them for insisting of keeping their memberships of the organisation."
Both Mokwele and Mokgosi will stay on as ordinary members of the EFF.
