Floyd Shivambu: The Former EFF Think Tank Behind the Party’s Vision

Fikile Mbalula recently hailed Floyd Shivambu, former Deputy President of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), as the “think tank” behind the party, crediting Shivambu with playing an instrumental role in shaping its policies and ideologies. In a recent interview with Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh, Shivambu confirmed that he was indeed the mastermind behind much of the EFF’s founding structure, including the party’s name, the concept of Commissars, the role of Commander in Chief, the Seven Cardinal Pillars, and the EFF’s founding manifesto.

Shivambu’s political journey began as a student leader at the University of the Witwatersrand, where he served as president of the Student Representative Council and joined the African National Congress Youth League. His path ultimately led him to co-found the EFF with Julius Malema, rising to the role of Deputy President, where he was responsible for policy development, research, and international relations. Shivambu has also been involved in the Pan-African Parliament and has served on critical committees, including the Trade and Industry Portfolio Committee and the Standing Committee on Finance.

Shivambu’s career, however, has not been without controversy. He has faced allegations of assault against a journalist, accusations of racial bias, and has been linked to the VBS Mutual Bank scandal, where his brother allegedly received improper payments from the bank. Shivambu has denied any personal involvement in the scandal, calling for evidence against him to be brought forward.

In a surprising move in August 2024, Shivambu left the EFF to join the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, where he assumed the position of National Organiser. His departure dealt a significant blow to the EFF, with Malema likening the loss to “losing a mother.” Nevertheless, Shivambu remains a powerful presence in South African politics, with his influence and contributions to the EFF’s foundational principles continuing to shape the party’s policies. His transition to the MK Party reflects the dynamic shifts in his political trajectory, but his legacy within the EFF will undoubtedly endure.
