Izigameko zakamuva zibe nomthelela ekukhuleni kwamahlebezi okuthi abanye abasekeli bakaJacob Zuma bazoshiya i-EFF. Kodwa-ke, osopolitikii ababalulekile abanjengoMnuz Carl Niehaus no-Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane baphike bama ngentaba ukuthi bazolandela uMnuz Floyd Shivambu, obeyiphini likamengameli we-EFF, ojoyine Umkhonto weSizwe.
UNiehaus, owaziwa ngokweseka kakhulu uZuma, uphumele obala wathi akukho emqondweni wakhe, ngisho nasephusheni, ukuthi ashiye i-EFF. Wazwakalisa ukuzimisela kwakhe ukuqhubeka nokusebenza ngaphakathi eqenjini, elibona njengenhlangano ezimisele ukwenza izinguquko kwezomthetho. Ngempelasonto ezayo, uNiehaus uveze ukuthi uzobe ekhankasela i-EFF eGoli, kulungiselelwa ukhetho lokuchibiyela.
Ngokufanayo, u-Advocate Mkhwebane, ohlotshaniswa nokuxhaswa kukaZuma, naye uthe ngeke ayishiye i-EFF, eyibiza njengekhaya lakhe, futhi wazwakalisa ukuzibophezela kwakhe ekusebenzeleni amalungu e-EFF.
Amahlebezi okuthi bobabili bangashiya i-EFF aqale ukubhebhetheka ngesikhathi kuvela izindaba zokuthi uShivambu usejoyine iMK, okwabangele ukungabaza phakathi kwamalungu e-EFF. Nokho, umholi we-EFF, uMnuz Julius Malema, wakubeka kwacaca ukuthi uyakulindela ukuthi abanye bazolandela uShivambu bahambe naye. Kodwa-ke, uNiehaus noMkhwebane baphendule bathi bazoqhubeka eqenjini.
UNiehaus wagxeka esidlangalaleni uMzwanele Manyi, oshiye i-EFF noShivambu, ebachaza njengabafanele ukuba besebenzela izwe ngentshiseko, esikhundleni sokushiya iqembu ngokungenami.
