In a stunning development, Floyd Shivambu has announced his resignation from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and will be joining Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe Party. The bombshell revelation came during a media briefing earlier today, marking a dramatic shift in South Africa’s political landscape.
Shivambu, who has been a key figure in the EFF since its inception in 2013, served as the party’s deputy president. His departure is a significant loss for the EFF and raises questions about the future dynamics within the party.
In his resignation letter to EFF President Julius Malema, Shivambu requested that Malema refrain from any “slander and mischaracterisation” of his decision. The full text of Shivambu’s resignation letter reads:
Dear President Julius Malema,
I am writing to formally tender my resignation from my position as Deputy President of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), effective immediately. After much reflection and careful consideration, I have decided to join the uMkhonto weSizwe Party under the leadership of Jacob Zuma.
My decision to leave the EFF is a deeply personal one and stems from a desire to pursue new political avenues and contribute to the shaping of our nation in different ways. I have cherished my time with the EFF and am proud of the work we have accomplished together. However, it is time for me to explore new opportunities and challenges.
I kindly request that you, President Malema, and the EFF leadership respect my decision and refrain from any slander or mischaracterisation of my departure. My commitment to our shared vision of economic freedom and social justice remains strong, but I now seek to advance these ideals through a different platform.
I wish the EFF continued success in its endeavors and hope that it remains steadfast in its mission to bring about meaningful change in South Africa.
Thank you for the opportunities and experiences I have had with the EFF.
Sincerely,
Floyd Shivambu
Shivambu’s move to the uMkhonto weSizwe Party is anticipated to stir considerable discussion and could impact both the EFF and the broader political landscape. As the situation develops, all eyes will be on the implications of this high-profile political shift.
