Professor Susan Booysen, a political analyst from Wits University, commented on the challenges facing the EFF following the resignation of its deputy leader, Floyd Shivambu. Shivambu’s departure, which some attribute to tensions with party leader Julius Malema, raises concerns about the party’s future growth. Booysen suggests that the EFF may struggle to expand, although she doesn’t believe it’s a dying party. She also notes that Shivambu’s move to the MK Party (MKP), led by Jacob Zuma, could spark further defections from the EFF. However, the MKP’s ability to accommodate non-Zulu leaders like Shivambu remains uncertain, Times Live reports.
