JOHANNESBURG - Deputy Leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters Floyd Shivambu believes the political party will topple the African National Congress in the 2024 National government elections. This comes after the leader of the Democratic Alliance allegedly asked the EFF to be part of a coalition.

During an interview, DA Leader John Steenhuisen said the party had given the EFF an ultimatum. This follows EFF Leader Julius Malema’s remarks saying that he would consider working with the ANC if Paul Mashatile was its president.

The claims seemingly rattled Shivambu, who took to Twitter to call the DA’s leadership self-righteous and childish. The second-in-command said:

“What does this even mean? Ultimatum where & through which channel? The self-righteousness & let it be said, the childishness of John Steenhuisen and Helen Zille will collapse the DA,” he said.

Shivambu that the Red Berets does not take advice from people on “high horses”. He added that the EFF would “single handily” defeat the ANC.

TimesLIVE reported that Steenhuisen’s ultimatum involved the EFF choosing between working with the ANC or working with the DA to unseat the party.

In a related matter, Briefly News also reported African National Congress deputy president candidate Ronald Lamola says the ANC should not take guidance from leaders like Julius Malema.

Lamola took exception to the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) comments about willing to work with the ANC in coalition agreements after the 2024 elections.

Malema told News24 that the EFF would only work with the ANC if Paul Mastatile, the current treasurer-general, is in leadership.
