IPHINI likaMengameli we-Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), uFloyd Shivambu, usethathe isinqumo sokushiya iqembu alisungula noJulius Malema eminyakeni eyishumi edlule. UShivambu, noke waba yingxenye ye-EFF kusukela yasungulwa, uzojoyina i-Party kalowo owayengumengameli uJacob Zuma, iMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party).

Lokhu kushiya kuphawula ushintsho olukhulu ku-EFF, njengoba uShivambu ebambe elikhulu iqhaza ekubumbeni umkhombandlela nemigomo yeqembu. UJulius Malema, ongumengameli we-EFF, uzwakalise ukujula kwemizwa yakhe ngesinqumo sikaShivambu esithangamini nabezindaba be-EFF ngoLwesine.

“Ngesikhathi engitshela ukuthi uyahamba ngezwa ubuhlungu engangibuzwa ngesikhathi ngithola izindaba zokudlula kukamama,”

Kusho uMalema, echaza ngomthelela wokuhamba kukaShivambu. Uphinde wavuma ukushuba kwesimo, wathi lesi yisikhathi esibucayi ku-EFF.

“Yisikhathi sokuvivinywa ku-EFF – i-EFF kumele iphumelele lesi sivivinyo noma ife. Lesi yisahluko esisha se-EFF,”

UMalema wengeze, ekhombisa isidingo sokusimama eqenjini njengoba bezobhekana nalolu shintsho lobuholi.

Uhambo lukaShivambu kwezombusazwe lumenze washintsha wasuka ekubeni ngumkhulumeli we-African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) waba ngomunye wabaholi abaqavile ku-EFF. Ukuhlukana kwakhe ne-ANC ngo-2013 kwenzeka ngesikhathi eqondiswa izigwegwe noMalema. Yize i-ANC igcine imxoshile uMalema, uShivambu ukwazile ukugwema ukuqondiswa izigwegwe kodwa wakhetha ukulishiya iqembu kungakhathalekile. Ngokubambisana, babe sebesungula i-EFF, beyibeka njengeqembu elinamandla kwezombusazwe eNingizimu Afrika.

Naphezu kwalo mlando ojulile nge-EFF, isinqumo sikaShivambu sokushiya sibonakala siqinile. UMalema uveze ukuthi useyenzile imizamo yokunxenxa umngani wakhe osemnkantshubomvu ukuthi aphinde acabange ngokushiya kwakhe.

“Ngamtshela ukuthi uma wesula ku-EFF, uyazisula ngoba ungumsunguli we-EFF,”

Kusho uMalema. Naphezu kwale mizamo, umqondo kaShivambu wanquma, futhi uMalema wanikeza izilokotho ezinhle ngekusasa.

“Sifisela iphini impumelelo futhi siyazi ukuthi lapho liya khona lizoba yigugu,”

UMalema uphethe ezwakalisa ukuwethemba amagalelo kaShivambu esikhathini esizayo, nangaphandle kwe-EFF.

Ekhuluma esithangamini nabezindaba esifanayo, uShivambu ucabange ngesinqumo sakhe sokushiya iqembu. Ukugcizelele ukuthi nakuba ehambile kodwa usahambisana nemigomo ewumnyombo ye-EFF.

"Angisoze ngakulahla ukuzibophezela kwami enkululekweni yezomnotho,"

U-Shivambu uqinisekisile, egcizelela ukuqhubeka nokukholelwa kwakhe emibonweni yezomnotho echaze kokubili umsebenzi wakhe kanye nenjongo ye-EFF.

Okuphawulekayo, i-MK Party kanye ne-EFF babelana ngezinto ezifanayo, njengoba zombili izinhlangano zisayine "umqulu oqhubekayo." Lo mqulu uveza izinhloso ezibalulekile zombili izinhlangothi ezihlose ukuzifeza, ikakhulukazi mayelana nomhlaba uguquko kanye noguquko kwezomnotho. UShivambu ukugqamise lokhu kuqondanisa emazwini akhe.

"Umqulu oqhubekayo uthi kumele silwele ukudliwa komhlaba ngaphandle kwesinxephezelo,"

U-Shivambu uthe, ekhombisa ukuzinikela kwakhe okuqhubekayo kulezi zinhloso okwabelwana ngazo, noma nje eshintsha ukwethembeka kwakhe kwezepolitiki.

UShivambu akuyena yedwa umuntu ovelele oshiya i-EFF waya ku-MK Party. Amanye amalungu aqavile, okuhlanganisa nelungu le-EFF ePhalamende uMzwanele Manyi, nawo athathe lesi sinyathelo, ephakamisa ukuthi kube noguquko olubanzi ezinhlangothini ezithile zeqembu.
