Mngxitama was scheduled to address the media and the party about what he saw at Gayton McKenzie’s house.
This follows this mysterious tweet he (Mngxitama) posted yesterday:
So I challenged Gayton to show me evidence backing up his claims. I'm on way to his house in cape town.

another tweet surfaced, that confirmed the meeting between Mngxitama and gayton was finished and the details disclosed to him seems shocking
I'm hurt, disappointed and speechless. I refuse to believe what I have seen and heard 2day. Its a nightmare I shall soon wake up.

This tweet follows an open letter titled Thug to thug posted by Mckenzie with details pertaining to the misconduct and mismanagement of funds by Malema.
However, Mngxitama could not give the details he had prepared for the press, as there were fractions of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) who were calling for his head. It was later understood that the EFF members were unhappy because they were asked to leave and only the media were allowed to stay. The Member of Parliament (MP) Andile Mngxitama was protected by some EFF members before he was taken away from the venue, then down a road before being whisked away by his security.
It’s unclear what the MP was about to diclose to the Media, and apart from the appreciation that was tweeted by Andile Mngxitama on his tweet wall
Thanks to those fighters who protected me against the uninformed fighters.
