Floyd Shivambu, the deputy president of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has reportedly resigned from the party led by Julius Malema.
The EFF is the fourth-largest political party in South Africa. Like the MK Party, which is led by former president Jacob Zuma, the EFF has refused to join the ANC-led coalition government formed after the May 29, 2024 elections, which resulted in a hung Parliament.
According to Business Day, Shivambu informed the EFF’s top six leadership of the developments at a crisis meeting on Wednesday evening.
IOL reported sources as saying Shivambu wants to resign from his duties and hopes Malema will accept his decision.
The MK party has offered him a senior leadership position.
An urgent press conference with party officials is planned for noon on Thursday.
