@MDNnews posted a video of Malema addressing the Gauteng Provincial Ground Forces on 19 August. Malema's address came after Floyd Shivambu resigned as the party's deputy president and member to join the MK Party.

A fuming Malema said:

"All powers that belong to the deputy president will go into the office of the president, and everything else that looks like the former deputy president shall be dismantled from the EFF. The GTU and all those who sat in the GTU under the deputy president are dissolved. We are taking charge of our organisation now. We are tired of entrusting it in the hands of the wrong people. We have been betrayed for too long. We have been sold out for too long."
