Malema Crosses Political Lines as He Takes Aim at Shivambu’s Physical Appearance

EFF leader Julius Malema has sparked fresh political controversy after making personal remarks about his former deputy, Floyd Shivambu, targeting his weight while questioning his ability to think clearly.

During his latest public address, Malema reportedly mocked Shivambu’s physical appearance, suggesting that his weight was affecting his mental ability.

“Floyd is too fat. His fat is going to his brain, and as a result, Floyd can’t think properly,” Malema allegedly said.

The remarks have once again brought attention to the bitter fallout between the two politicians, who were previously close allies and played important roles in building and leading the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

Shivambu, who once served as the party’s deputy president, was regarded as one of Malema’s closest political associates. However, their relationship reportedly fell apart after Shivambu left the EFF and became involved in other political activities.

Since their separation, tensions between the former allies have increasingly played out in public, with both political figures becoming subjects of criticism and controversy.

Malema’s latest comments have attracted attention because they go beyond political disagreements, focusing instead on Shivambu’s physical appearance.

Their once-strong political partnership has now turned into a highly publicised rivalry, highlighting the deep divisions that emerged following Shivambu’s departure from the EFF.

The ongoing exchanges between the two continue to attract interest in South African politics, particularly because of the influential roles they once played together in shaping the EFF.
