Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Floyd Shivambu called Julius Malema ‘Hobbesian Leviathan’ in a leaked WhatsApp chat following heated TWAR.
Shivambu’s departure comes just months after the EFF was dislodged as the third-largest party in South Africa. MK overtook the EFF in the 29 May general election and is now the official opposition in the National Assembly after the DA joined the Government of National Unity.
Shivambu was key in drawing up the party’s founding documents — its constitution and seven cardinal pillars.
He has been the EFF’s first and only deputy president since its formation in 2013 and was an important figure in shaping its policy. The popular EFF Students Command was his brainchild and has given the ANC-aligned South African Students Congress a run for its money in universities across the country.
