Julius Malema Fires Back at Floyd Shivambu: “It’s Our Millions, We Can Spend Them However We Want”

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has hit back at former party secretary-general Floyd Shivambu following criticism over the party’s spending on political rallies and music festivals despite its disappointing performance in the 2026 Local Government Elections.

Shivambu reportedly questioned how the EFF could spend millions of rands organising large rallies and music festivals but still struggle to translate those investments into votes at the ballot box.

Responding to the criticism, Malema appeared unapologetic about how the party chooses to spend its money. He argued that the funds belong to the EFF and that the organisation has the right to decide how they are used.

In a bold response, Malema reportedly remarked that even if the party wanted to spend its millions on Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL), it was entitled to do so.

His statement has sparked debate, with some people viewing it as a defiant response to Shivambu’s criticism, while others believe it raises important questions about political spending and accountability.

The exchange also highlights the growing tensions between the two political figures following Shivambu’s departure from the EFF.

As discussions surrounding the party’s election performance continue, Malema’s response has attracted considerable attention on social media, with South Africans sharing different opinions about the controversy.
