uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party Secretary-General Floyd Shivambu has publicly challenged the Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) political consistency, citing concerns over the party’s ideological alignment within the Progressive Caucus in Parliament.

During a media briefing on Tuesday, Shivambu expressed confusion about the EFF’s current stance, stating: “It’s very difficult to understand the political and ideological position of the EFF. They co-signed the Progressive Caucus charter, yet their actions often contradict its principles.”

The Progressive Caucus – a coalition of leftist parties formed after the 2024 elections, including the MK Party and EFF – was established to advance radical economic transformation, land reform, and pro-poor policies. However, Shivambu argued that the EFF’s recent parliamentary maneuvers have created uncertainty about its commitment to the bloc’s shared vision.

“Signing a progressive charter isn’t symbolic – it requires accountability. Inconsistency damages the credibility of our collective struggle,” he emphasized.

The criticism comes amid growing tensions within the leftist alliance, with observers noting the EFF’s tactical engagements with parties outside the caucus. While the EFF has yet to formally respond, party insiders maintain that its strategies remain rooted in radical economic transformation, albeit with “pragmatic flexibility.”

Political analyst Thabo Mokoena suggests Shivambu’s remarks reveal deeper ideological tensions: “This isn’t just about policy differences – it’s a contest for the soul of South Africa’s left. The MK Party appears to be drawing a line in the sand regarding revolutionary purity.”

As Parliament reconvenes, the Progressive Caucus faces a critical test of unity, with its ability to present a cohesive front likely to shape the trajectory of left-wing politics in South Africa. The EFF’s next moves will be closely watched for signs of either reconciliation or further divergence from its alliance partners.
