The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) wishes to announce the appointment of Andiswa Madikazi as the new Parliament Liaison Officer. Ms. Madikazi will serve as the key intermediary between the National Communications Office and Members of Parliament, effectively synchronising all Parliamentary work and ensuring seamless communication across the board.

Ms. Madikazi brings a unique blend of academic, political, and professional expertise to this role. She is currently a registered Masters student in Politics, following her Honours in Politics from the University of South Africa (UNISA). In addition to her academic achievements, Ms. Madikazi worked nearly nine years in data analytics industry dealing with data collection, analysis, and reporting.

Prior to this, she served as a Research Intern at the National Research Foundation (UWC Division) and the SADC Research Centre, where she contributed to research projects focused on international development and social issues such as sex work and HIV/AIDS prevention.

Politically, Ms. Madikazi has demonstrated her commitment to the EFF and its mission. She served as a member of the Regional Command Team in Cape Metro, where she was deployed as the Media Liaison Officer in 2021 until the structure was dissolved. Furthermore, she held the position of Branch Secretary of the EFF in ward 39 (formerly ward 41), where she worked tirelessly to strengthen the EFF’s presence at the grassroots level and advance its agenda.

With her diverse background in data analytics, academia, and political engagement, we have no doubt that Ms. Madikazi is well-positioned to enhance the EFF’s Parliamentary operations. Her appointment will undoubtedly ensure that communication between the National Communications Office and Parliament is streamlined, efficient, and impactful, reinforcing the organisation’s objectives in the political landscape.
