Shivambu’s departure: A blow to Malema and the EFF

Floyd Shivambu’s exit from the EFF to join MK sparks deep emotions in Malema and doubts about the party’s future.

Floyd Shivambu leaves the EFF for Zuma’s MK party, causing deep emotional pain for Julius Malema and raising questions about the EFF’s future.

It’s amazing that there were any dry eyes in the house at EFF headquarters yesterday as the party’s deputy president and one of its founders, Floyd Shivambu, announced he was jumping ship to join Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe party. It was just the sort of theatre we’ve come to expect from the EFF which, for all of its faults, certainly knows how to manipulate the media and grab the telling sound bites.

Coming on the back of reported ructions in MK under the dictatorial ways of Zuma’s daughter, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, there was speculation about whether the EFF resignations would bolster Zuma and, in turn, mark the beginning of the end for Malema’s party.
