Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema took the initiative to cut a portion from a months wage of two provincial leaders due to them being able to provide a monthly organisational report.
This was followed by a warning from Malema stating that more salary cuts and suspensions are viable if leaders fail to meet party expectations and requirements. Malema allegedly called for Itani Mukwevho, and Moshe Koma's entire monthly salary to be penalised during a meeting he had with provincial and regional leaders.
Malema unapologetically spoke to journalists on Thursday, 10 June, stating that provincial leadership structures would be dismantled if they are unable to guarantee that 90% of regions had launched branches.

EWN alleged that Mukwevho, and Koma, were penalised for being unable to provide the provincial organisational report in May. This is allegedly Malema’s way of teaching them a lesson after he warned against incompetence.
Insider information
Insiders have alleged that Malema’s hardened commander-in-chief style often disregarded all the rules as he adopted a dictator style approach whilst certain members in the party support Malema’s decision, insisting that Mukwevho, and Koma were unreliable.
