Opinion | Malema and Mabuza are still bound by old loyalties
The Mabuza faction is so powerful within the ANC that every vote for the ANC is ultimately one for the EFF and its policiesRecently, deputy president David Mabuza tweeted a picture of himself with EFF leader Julius Malema, apparently sharing a joke and cosying up to his former ANC cadre.
Indeed, the picture of Malema and Mabuza illustrates the fact that a vote for Ramaphosa is a vote for Mabuza, the corrupt ANC, and ultimately Malema and the EFF. One can’t separate these individuals from one another. A year later, Mabuza reiterated these sentiments. “[Malema] has a special space in my heart,” he told supporters in March 2018. “We had times together. He knows. When he was in the ANC‚ I supported him to be the president of the Youth League and I remember comrade Julius saying‚ ‘My blood is black‚ green and gold. I will never leave the ANC’.”
