Sizwe Dhlomo and Floyd Shivambu in heated online clash

The war of words kicked off after Dhlomo advised Shivambu over his seemingly shambolic consultative process on whether to form a new party or not. The Kaya 959 host advised the former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) politician to take a step back before making public moves. The post was captioned:

“Your problem is you don’t know how to execute & you move like you’re desperate @FloydShivambu. Chill bro, didisa. Lie low for like two months or something, then come back & say you’ve consulted. Not this thing!”

Floyd Shivambu fired back with a savage response and what seemed like a threat to Sizwe Dhlomo. The post was captioned:

“I humbly think you have an over-exaggerated view of yourself, brother. I don’t know you, have never spoken to you, but you seem like you feel entitled to how I do politics. I don’t know what you do, and I humbly advise that you focus there. Please!”

Sizwe Dhlomo didn’t back down and responded, asking:

“Or what?”

The tension escalated, and Floyd Shivambu eventually blocked Sizwe Dhlomo.
