Africa-Press – South-Africa. The appointment of Floyd Shivambu as the MK Party’s national organiser has left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) members disgruntled, with some saying he was a self-serving individual.
EFF MP Sinawo Tambo and EFF Student Command president, Sihle Lonzi, took to social media to lambast Shivambu’s decision to wave the MK Party flag.
Shivambu addressed an MK Party media briefing in Sandton on Thursday for the first time since he left the organisation he established in 2013.

Tambo said that Shivambu’s decision to leave the party after its electoral decline was a condescending insult to the red berets.
On the other hand, Lonzi described Shivambu as a coward, who was “politically bankrupt and intellectually dishonest”.
But Shivambu is seemingly unphased by attacks from his former fighters.
“We are not in the business of trying to please each other’s egos. We are in the business of building a revolutionary movement that is going to emancipate the black majority, and Africans in particular, and we are unapologetic about that.”
Earlier this week, EFF leader Julius Malema told the party’s supporters that the time of mourning and sulking over Shivambu’s departure was over.
