Dr Ndlozi swaps EFF beret for graduation cap
Johannesburg – With a beaming smile on his face, elated Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) spokesperson, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, swapped his red beret for a graduation cap on Tuesday.
To loud cheers, a round of applause and a standing ovation, Ndlozi walked proudly across the stage at the Witwatersrand University, bowed before the vice chancellor, and walked towards a university official, who placed his hood over his shoulder as he was conferred a doctorate in political studies.
His thesis was titled Permanent juniority: Black youth politics in the Vaal under late colonialism.
Someone from the audience shouted: "The people's bae!" and Ndlozi seemed to be enjoying his moment.
After Ndlozi donned his graduation cap, he clenched his red beret in his right hand and punched his fist in the air, gesturing Amandla.
