Political Firestorm as Shivambu Lashes Out at Former Allies

South Africa’s opposition politics has been thrown into turmoil after former EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu launched a blistering attack on both his former party and the MK Party during a controversial press briefing. The fallout has exposed deepening rifts in the country’s political landscape, with EFF leader Julius Malema offering a subtle but pointed response.

Shivambu’s Explosive Claims
In his most scathing remarks since leaving the EFF, Shivambu described his former party as a “cult” and took aim at unnamed leaders for “irresponsible behavior.” While avoiding direct names, his comments about “untouchables who take drugs, tweet at night, and insult us” were widely interpreted as targeting Malema and MK Party spokesperson Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla.

“I’ve raised these concerns before internally,” Shivambu claimed, referencing his brief time with the MK Party before his recent demotion to ordinary MP.

Malema’s Calculated Response
Malema responded hours later with a carefully crafted social media post. Sharing a video of the current EFF leadership in action, he simply wrote: “The leadership we have is quite alright.” The message, though indirect, was seen as both a dismissal of Shivambu’s criticism and a show of confidence in his team.

Zuma-Sambudla opted for a more cryptic approach, posting vague philosophical musings that avoided direct engagement with the controversy.

Political Chess at Play
Analysts suggest Shivambu’s outburst signals bigger ambitions. “This is classic political repositioning,” said analyst Lindiwe Mkhabela. “He’s burning bridges to potentially build his own. The 2026 local elections could be his target.”

The public feud highlights the volatile state of South Africa’s opposition politics following the 2024 elections. With former allies turning on each other and new alliances forming, the political landscape appears primed for further shake-ups.

As the war of words continues, one question looms largest: Is Shivambu laying the groundwork for a new political movement, or has he burned too many bridges to remain relevant? For now, South Africa’s political drama shows no signs of cooling down.
