Floyd Shivambu, MK Party Secretary General.
(The Post News)- Floyd Shivambu, the Secretary General of the MK Party, addressed Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), in Vosloorus, stating that there is no need for the MK Party to destroy the EFF. This statement comes as a response to Malema’s recent claim that the MK Party is the biggest and immediate problem for the EFF.
Shivambu’s address was seen as a call for unity and cooperation between the two parties, rather than a declaration of war. Shivambu emphasized that the MK Party’s focus is on building a better future for all South Africans, rather than engaging in destructive politics.
Malema’s statement, which sparked Shivambu’s response, was seen as a provocative move by MK Party. The EFF leader has been known for his fiery rhetoric and willingness to take on his opponents head-on. However, Shivambu’s calm and measured response has been seen as a sign of maturity and leadership.
The relationship between the MK Party and the EFF has been complex and often tumultuous since Shivambu joined the MK Party. The two parties have been rivals, with each side accusing the other of trying to undermine their efforts. However, Shivambu’s statement suggests that the MK Party is willing to put aside its differences with the EFF and work towards a common goal.
The tension between the MK Party and the EFF dates back when Shivambu crossed to the MK Party. The two leaders had been allies in the past, but their relationship soured over disagreements on policy and strategy which resulted for Shivambu resigning as a member and deputy president of the EFF.
