  • Prominent EFF leader Floyd Shivambu recently made headlines by leaving the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) to join the newly established uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP), taking up a role as Secretary General.
  • Shivambu’s unexpected departure from the EFF, particularly from his long-standing ally Julius Malema, has sparked social media reactions and debates on loyalty in politics.
  • In his new role, Shivambu passionately shared the symbolism of the MKP flag’s colors, underscoring the party’s commitment to uniting black South Africans in the fight for total liberation.

In a surprising political turn, former Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Floyd Shivambu, has left the party to join the newly established uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP). His move not only shocked his supporters but also rattled South Africa’s political landscape, as Shivambu takes on the significant role of Secretary General in the MKP under the leadership of former President Jacob Zuma.

Shivambu’s departure from the EFF has prompted considerable discussion, with many social media users expressing disbelief over his split from long-time ally Julius Malema. Initially, he was appointed as MKP’s national organizer, but in a swift turn, he has already been promoted to Secretary General. Known for his dynamic approach, Shivambu has wasted no time in establishing his presence within the MKP.

The Limpopo-born politician has taken to social media to explain the symbolic significance of the MKP’s flag colors. Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Shivambu stated, “The black colour represents commitment to the liberation of black and indigenous people from colonial oppression and dispossession. The colour black also represents the purposeful intention to unite all black people in the struggle for total emancipation.” His words emphasize the MKP’s mission to unify black South Africans around issues of freedom and self-determination.

This move comes just a day after former President Zuma announced Shivambu as the Secretary General, positioning the MKP as the official opposition party. While Shivambu’s enthusiastic start has garnered support, his appointment has also faced criticism from those questioning the transparency of his election to the position. Nonetheless, his transition marks a significant shift, as he takes on a pivotal role in shaping the future of the MKP.

The political shift has highlighted the transient nature of alliances and loyalty within South Africa’s political scene, with politicians frequently navigating changing affiliations and ideologies. Shivambu’s journey from EFF Deputy Leader to MKP Secretary General underscores the unpredictability and high stakes in the realm of South African politics.
