Why Mbuyiseni Ndlozi ‘refuses’ to celebrate historic African World Cup win

As much of the continent celebrated Morocco's incredible World Cup feat, outspoken EFF MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has refused to join in the festivities.

Morocco became the first African and Arab country to reach the tournament’s semifinals when they beat Portugal 1-0 on Saturday.

Youssef En-Nesyri’s header just before half time was enough for victory and booked his side a semifinal on Wednesday against France.

Ndlozi, whose party has long advocated for a united Africa, took to social media to share his thoughts on the historic win, saying it should not be celebrated until Morocco ends its occupation of Western Sahara.

“Africa must reject Morocco until they end their occupation of Western Sahara. I refuse to celebrate! Free Western Sahara,” he said.
