If the party matches or betters their last election performance, the 'Sondela' hitmaker will end up in parliament.
This is, however, the first time he has officially entered the ring as a politician.
At number 39 on the list, this means Madlingozi will end up in parliament if the EFF either match or better their performance in the last national elections. In 2014, the party achieved 6.35% at the polls, or 1,169,259 votes. Polls so far are estimating that the party may almost double their achievements in 2014 this year, withIRR poll shows decline in ANC support, EFF growth remains high
Madlingozi’s appearance on the list is arguably the biggest surprise, with leader Julius Malema, his second-in-command Floyd Shivambu, and the party’s national chairperson Dali Mpofu occupying the top three positions, as expected. Another surprise is that national spokesperson Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, undoubtedly one of the party’s most prominent and visible members, sits at number seven on the list, rather than at number four as some may have expected.
Deputy Secretary-General Hlengiwe Mkhaliphi , general secretary Godrich Gardee, and treasurer general Leigh-Ann Mathys occupy the fourth, fifth and sixth spots, with Ndlozi afterwards.
