EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu was awarded a lavish home that he was completely unaware of recently.
Twitter user @alfred_cabonena started the controversy as he shared an image on Sunday, with a caption which read: "This is Floyd Shivambu's house,deputy president of the EFF."
Although set in a rural landscape, the massive mansion is a home that anyone would be proud of, but Shivambu refuted the claims.
