WATCH | ‘I don’t work with Floyd — not in Parliament, not even at a soccer match,’ says Malema

Shivambu

Cape Town – EFF leader Julius Malema has firmly distanced himself from former ally Floyd Shivambu, saying he no longer works with him in any capacity and will not involve himself in Shivambu’s affairs.

Speaking outside the home of late actor Presley Chweneyagae in Pretoria on Wednesday, Malema emphasised that the EFF is focused on its parliamentary work and remains unshaken.

“I don’t work with Floyd anywhere, Parliament, or soccer match, or anything. I don’t work with Floyd,” Malema said.

“Angifuni ukuyingena into kaFloyd,  Uphi apha? (I don’t want to get involved in Floyd’s issues. Where is he here?) I’m not getting involved. Aya kwini yena (where was he going ). So he’s not our problem. We are in Parliament, we are working in Parliament and that’s it. If he comes to Parliament, he will find us rolling. The Parliament now is run by young boys, young people are running that thing and if he comes then and thinks he can impose himself on them, they are already ready for him. So you can be rest assured, he will not do anything that can undermine the superior logic of the EFF in that Parliament.”

His comments follow Shivambu’s removal as the MK Party’s secretary-general after an unauthorised trip to Malawi to visit prophet Shepherd Bushiri, which violated the party’s constitution.

Shivambu has since been redeployed to Parliament.

Malema dismissed the idea that Shivambu would play a significant role in parliamentary committees, asserting that the EFF’s leadership and research-driven approach remain unmatched.

He said the EFF is committed to enlightening the public through meaningful work in Parliament and is not threatened by others.
