Floyd Shivambu expected to announce resignation from EFF
Sources close to the EFF have revealed that Shivambu reportedly informed the EFF’s top leadership, including party president Julius Malema, of his decision during a crisis meeting on Wednesday evening.
This development comes ahead of an urgent press conference called by the EFF, where significant leadership changes are expected to be announced.
Adding fuel to the speculation, EFF leader Julius Malema reportedly posted a cryptic message on his WhatsApp status, which read,
“Disappointments are inevitable, but there comes a time when you must make unpopular decisions, it’s painful but it’s got to be done.”
The message has sparked rumours that the EFF may be undergoing significant internal changes, possibly involving the removal of Shivambu from his leadership position.
Sources: Shivambu could be recruited by MK Party
Rumours are circulating that Floyd Shivambu has been offered a senior leadership position within the MK Party.
The potential move has sparked widespread speculation about the future direction of Shivambu’s political career.
The MK Party, which is currently embroiled in a legal battle with the SABC, could be seeking to bolster its leadership ranks amid ongoing challenges.
The EFF has been under intense scrutiny, particularly following allegations against Shivambu in connection with the VBS Mutual Bank scandal.
These allegations, combined with internal pressures, may have influenced Shivambu’s decision to consider a new political alignment.
As the EFF prepares for Thursday’s press conference, all eyes will be on the party’s leadership to confirm or deny these reports and to outline the next steps for both Shivambu and the EFF.
