The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader, Julius Malema indirectly caught up at uMkhonto weSizwe Party’s Former Secretary-General, Floyd Shivambu’s media breifing in Midrand stating that there are other political leaders who believe in social media point of view. 

“They think trending on social media makes them relevant. Win all elections in social media but on the ground there is nothing,” said Shivambu on a media briefing.

The EFF is one political party that has a massive crowd on campaigns and on social media. Shivambu was throwing figurative punches on EFF’s Commander in Chief, Julius Malema. He openly called him a “Cult”, the two had political disagreements after Shivambu left the EFF in 2024.

Shivambu continued by stating that some parties in South Africa are like music groups. “These parties revolve too heavily around one person rather than a collective ideology,” added Shivambu.
