Floyd Shivambu’s political journey has always been bold and dramatic. As the Vice President of the EFF, he was firebrand, fearless, and vocal alongside Julius Malema. But ambition drove him to new terrain.
Shivambu made headlines when he exited the EFF, pledging allegiance to Jacob Zuma’s uMKhonto weSizwe (MK) Party. Initially, it looked like a smart move. He quickly rose through MK’s ranks and was appointed Secretary General.
His rise was steady and impressive. However, recent events have changed his fate. A controversial visit to Prophet Shepherd Bushiri reportedly caused tensions. This misstep cost him his top position.

After weeks of silence, Floyd Shivambu finally broke the silence with a powerful Instagram post. “The MK is best political revolutionary movement ever! And the best political ever decision was to join and associate with uMKhonto weSizwe. It will never change! #GwazaMkhontoGwaza!” he declared.
His message is clear—he still believes in MK. Despite being demoted from Secretary General to an ordinary MP, his political conviction remains rock solid. Shivambu’s loyalty has not wavered. He believes MK represents real revolutionary change. The Bushiri saga may have cost him, but it didn’t shake his faith.
Transitioning from EFF to MK was not just political; it was personal. He embraced the movement with passion. Though Jacob Zuma reportedly acted swiftly after the Bushiri visit, Shivambu remains undeterred. He’s not backing down. His message signals resilience and unshaken belief in the MK Party’s future.
