Drugs, Cults and Betrayals” — Floyd Shivambu Drops Bombshells About the EFF and MK Party

“Drugs, Cults and Betrayals” — Floyd Shivambu Drops Bombshells About the EFF and MK Party







By Noko Mabofa Maleka | Insight Jozi News

In an explosive interview aired on e.tv, former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) deputy president Floyd Shivambu broke his silence on the toxic inner workings of the EFF, denouncing it as a “cult,” while also hurling shocking allegations at Nhlamulo Nhleko — the MK Party spokesperson and daughter of former President Jacob Zuma.

🎤 Shivambu Labels the EFF a Cult

Speaking with striking candour, Shivambu refused to retract his previous claims that the EFF is operating like a “cult.” “I won’t take that back,” he insisted. “It is what it is — a political cult masquerading as a revolutionary movement.”

This marks one of the most public and direct repudiations of the party’s internal culture by one of its founding leaders. Shivambu, once the party’s ideological bulldog and feared debater, has seemingly turned against the very machinery he helped build.

💥 Drug Accusations Against MK Party’s Nhleko

But Shivambu didn’t stop there. He took aim at Nhlamulo Nhleko, spokesperson for the newly formed MK Party and daughter of former president Jacob Zuma, alleging that she is “on drugs” or “alcohol.” “She tweets like someone who is intoxicated,” said Shivambu, without offering concrete evidence.

The accusations shocked viewers, especially since Shivambu and Nhleko were not previously known to be adversaries. Many see this as a new front in the growing war between former EFF leaders and Zuma-aligned factions.

🧨 Factions and Fractures: ANC, EFF, MK and Beyond

Political analysts have noted that Shivambu’s outburst is a symptom of deeper fragmentation within South Africa’s revolutionary political movements. With the ANC suffering post-election disarray, the EFF battling internal discord, and the MK Party accused of being a Zuma vanity project, South Africa’s left is bleeding from all angles.

Whether Shivambu’s remarks are a bold act of truth-telling or a desperate ploy to stay politically relevant remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the gloves are off, and the truth — or what each faction claims as truth — is now a weapon.

From Backyard to Breakthrough: How Noko Moholane's Farm Dreams Are Blossoming Despite Government Neglect By Noko Mabofa Maleka | Insight Jozi News In the heart of Moletjie, Limpopo, where the sun scorches dry soil and hope often battles hardship, a young man named Noko Moholane is quietly rewriting the story of rural agriculture in South Africa. Armed with a Bachelor of Agriculture degree from the University of Limpopo , Noko was filled with dreams of cultivating the land, feeding communities, and becoming a contributor to South Africa’s food security. But what he wasn’t prepared for was the silent war he would face after graduation — a war against a lack of support, a shortage of land, and the deafening silence of a government that claims to champion agricultural development. “After finishing my degree, I applied for land, I knocked on every door — but nothing. Not even a response,” says Moholane. “Eventually I realized I had to start where I was, with what I had — my ya...

The ANC and the Illusion of Liberation

Image
  South Africa has been sold a lie of freedom—a meticulously crafted illusion by the architects of apartheid. The release of Nelson Mandela, once heralded as the dawn of liberation, was a calculated move by a cunning apartheid regime. Mandela was paraded globally, not as a symbol of true emancipation but as a puppet of a more sophisticated system of oppression. The apartheid government knew their crimes. And  brutality was unsustainable in the face of growing international scrutiny. They needed a new strategy—a subtler form of control that would maintain their grip on economic power while pacifying the masses with the illusion of democracy. This strategy was executed with surgical precision. Mandela, the revered revolutionary, was systematically groomed and manipulated during his post-release world tours. By 1992, he stood at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, delivering a speech that was a far cry from his earlier socialist ideals. Overnight, the African Nationa...
