Several highly placed sources have confirmed to the SABC that Floyd Shivambu, the Deputy President of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has indicated his intention to resign from the party.
This move is expected to usher in radical leadership changes within the EFF, with an official announcement scheduled for midday today.
Shivambu has expressed his desire to be released from all his duties in both the party and parliament.

However, sources have revealed that he wants this decision to be approved by the EFF leadership, including party head Julius Malema. This approval would formalize his exit from party structures and institutional roles.
The EFF is poised to announce several changes in its leadership at the scheduled midday press conference.
These changes follow the party’s performance in May’s elections, signalling a potential shift in its strategic direction. Observers are keen to see how these changes will impact the party’s future operations and its political stance.
The party and Floyd Shivambu will hold a press briefing later today, providing more information regarding the resignation and subsequent leadership changes.
This briefing will be pivotal for understanding the EFF’s next steps and how it plans to navigate the evolving political landscape.
