GAUTENG - Julius Malema is still throwing jabs at Floyd Shivambu.
The Economic Freedom Fighters leader blamed his former deputy for the party's poor performance in the elections in KwaZulu-Natal. The Red Berets only secured 2% of the vote in KZN during the national and provincial elections in May.
Malema blames Shivambu for EFF’s dismal showing
Speaking at the party’s Gauteng Provincial General Assembly, Malema explained that Shivambu was tasked with expanding the party’s presence in the province before the elections.
The EFF failed to impress in KZN, as newcomers uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) stole the show with 45.3% of the vote. Shivambu would later ditch the EFF for the MK Party.
“We are being kind by saying that the person who was deployed for the elections was divorced from reality in KZN. It may even be true, and more worrying, that he was aware of the damage to come in KZN and kept quiet because he had already chosen to betray this movement,” Malema stated.
Social media users troll Malema
South Africans are tired of Malema and his excuses, and many urged him to take accountability and not blame others for the party’s problems.
@MkasiCharles said:
“He tends to attribute responsibility to others rather than acknowledging his shortcomings, which raises questions about the qualities of leadership he embodies.”
@stigano5050 added:
“He must go to KZN in 2026 and see. He expelled how many councillors in KZN? He can’t get more than five seats in all municipalities in KZN.”
@BlueNip joked:
“Boyfriend tiff is still carrying on🤣.”

@THEBIZKIT031 said:
“😂😂 shame crying like a baby now and blaming others for his incompetence.”
@Mr_brown01 exclaimed:
“He's delusional if he thinks he stood a chance against MKP in KZN.”
