Malema says ‘pain’ of Shivambu quitting EFF for MK party like hearing of his own mother’s death

Rats, when abandoning a sinking ship, will cling to anything that is floating. Will MK still float after Zuma dies?

The rats are leaving the sinking ship to jump on a different gravy train. Don't be surprised if the EFF eventually merges with Mkonte-rubbish. They are all in it to steal and loot. Nothing more.

Love it! I hope this weakens the EFF. And Floyd deciding to join the only party that will have him - the MK Thief and Scoundrel Club. Good riddence.

A case of thieves falling out? Or has Floyd simply had enough of Malema's endless threats to kick him out if he doesn't obey the Commander-in-Chief' every wish? Joining Zuma's MK is political suicide. If Floyd he can survive that nonsense for more than a couple of months he'll be an MK veteran.

I imagine the MK head hunted him for his brilliant Financial skills. A minister of finance in waiting.

JM and Floyd must have so much dirt on each other, this is the first step down a path on mutual destruction. I see chaos on the horizon.

I didn't even read the article, I came straight for the informative comments.

If this EFF chaos was happening in the DA, the race card could've been flashed out early in the morning. EFF should die a painful death because its main goal is to sow division among South Africans

Gimme shelter Jacob - the VBS thing is starting to scare me. I didn't mean to do it - but I know you, Baba, you can help me avoid a life in orange.

Joining a party of criminals. He'll fit in well there.

The pundits all predicted a realignment of SA politics 20 to 30 years after democracy, but the direction wasn’t clear. Now it looks like it’s polarising around the centre and so called left wing anarchists. Wait for JM to replace JZ in MK.

..."but did not reveal which position he will be occupying"... I can guess. I also guess that the lube comes in brown envelopes.

I think VBS scandal might be the cause of this ??

Another suspect joins the party of suspects.

Politicians always wants their bread buttered on both sides..at the expense of their followers. Where does this leave EFF's followers who followed EFF on Shibambu's ticket?

The level of hate for EFF is disappointing but not surprising. We hope Cde Floyd's departure will enable a union of the two parties after JZ dies. SA needs a progressive party and EFF has done VERY well so far, like it or not

I hope the rats abandoning the anc sinking ship keep joining the mk basket case party, lead by the showerhead's moronic daughter. At their next party conference, we could drop a net over the lot of them, lock 'em all up and breathe a sigh of relief...

Rats leaving sinking ship?

Well of course he quite! You can't have more than one dictator per party! At least we know that the pawns are all equal!

Let us throw a stone in the pond - If NPA locks up JM and FS then the EFF is done and dusted - So maybe this is a ploy to split the fallout for when the Orange Overalls are issued - A New (perhaps untarnished) Deputy that can try and hold it together when JM is incarcerated - Just saying!

More worrying is that this may lead to EFF joining MK as EFF don't really have a future. This could result in a formidable political force, given that there are many ANC rats who would gladly jump ship.

Malema the dictator has claimed another scalp. Mpofu and Ndlozi have long gone into obscurity. This is his party and he will not allow anyone to contest him. This, however, makes for good reading. Both these parties are ruled by despots and they are going nowhere. Good riddance to both.?

Loyalty is not a word either of these man understands.

A BLIND MAN'S WISH: Oh how I wander around Just waiting to be found. No light, Just night. I only have one real friend. He's the only one I can trust to send. Oh how I wish him and I can go away, And be normal for just one whole day. By Jean-Pierre du Toit

"Divide and conquer"

Trust me the MK and EFF will combine and use all the letters to form the FEK ME party

Malema was prepared to die for Zuma. Then he wanted to send him to jail. Then he wanted to kiss and make up when the ANC wanted to throw him out. Zuma has a taste for revenge served cold. Very cold.

I have learned that whatever a politician says, believe the opposite: "It is like my mother died" == "well, my plan worked..."

How does it work nowadays with floor crossings? So if Joe was party A member of parliament and moves to party B…. Does A replace him or does the seat become party B?

Guys, guys - Stop worrying. Malema has always had the insides of other parties (except the DA I suppose). Floyd is the spy. Anything MK does will be known. He's the DEEP THROUT.

So the earlier purge of the MK MPs was to make room for the RETs (Radical Economic Transformation) from the deep hole of corruption, lies and looting. I wonder when JZ's old pal, Niehaus, will join the MK.

I would be careful of writing this off as arbitrary. I am of the opinion that the single biggest danger to democracy South Africa faces right now is the EFF collapsing into or merging with MK. It is absolutely better for South Africa to have the two parties contesting against each other.

Don't like him, but you have to admire him - take a bow Jacob Zuma. He's taken a lot of Juju's supporters and now he's taken the "brains".

THE HEART IF HOPE: "My ancestors came to SA via Holland. My culture, like the cultures of so many peoples is suffused with the literature, art and music of Europe. And yet I am African" I am an African because the blood of my ancestors drenched the soil of this beautiful land". FW de klerk

The proletariat's go-to party for May 2024 could shrug off this DM article as too focused on its upper tier personalities. Despite EFF core policies having taken a knock, Shivambu blamed the party's under-performance on an anti-EFF conspiracy. So, does not losing a blinkered "leader" purify a party?

Good luck to him
