Former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is adding author to his résumé with the announcement of his debut book, Love and Violence.

Mbuyiseni shared the news on social media, introducing the book to his followers and offering a glimpse into what readers can expect. The announcement was met with an enthusiastic response, with many congratulating him and expressing excitement about reading it.

Published by Jonathan Ball Publishers, Love and Violence explores themes of love, power, politics and the complexities of human relationships. Through personal reflections and social commentary, Mbuyiseni says he hopes to encourage readers to engage with conversations that shape both public and private life.

“Through personal reflections and social commentary, I invite readers to engage with difficult but important conversations,” he wrote.

According to the publisher, the book offers a thoughtful exploration of how love and violence intersect, moving beyond political commentary to examine broader questions about society and human connection.

Shortly after the announcement, social media users filled the comments section with messages of support and curiosity. Among the most frequently asked questions was whether the book would be available on Amazon, while others praised Mbuyiseni for expanding his work beyond politics and into literature.

According to Jonathan Ball Publishers, Love and Violence is available through leading bookstores and online retailers across South Africa. Readers can also check with their preferred booksellers for availability and pre-order options.

Best known for his years as one of the EFF’s most recognisable public figures, Ndlozi now steps into a different role as an author, offering readers a more personal perspective through his writing.

With interest continuing to build online, Love and Violence is already generating conversation ahead of its release and is expected to spark discussion on the themes it explores.
