“Some of those leaders pretended to cry during the meeting pretending they did not know my resignation. It was a properly canvassed view, it was not a view that happened overnight,” he added. “I had to take a bold, possibly a good decision to leave the EFF which I played a central role in. It’s not a secret that I conceptualised the Economic Freedom Fighters, had the name, commander in chief, the seven cardinal pillars, the founding manifesto and all its key documents,” he said.During the interview, Shivambu reiterated that his relationship with Malema was only political and the fact that they worked together in the same spaces didn’t mean the relationship was personal.
