JOHANNESBURG - Democratic Alliance leader John Steenhuisen says former Economic Freedom Fighters deputy president Floyd Shivambu’s decision to join the uMkhonto weSizwe Party is purely"opportunistic".He said Shivambu’s departure from an organisation he established proves the EFF cannot be trusted to run any sphere of government.

It is an opportunistic realignment of the forces of people who want to loot the State."John Steehuisen, DA leader, says former EFF DP Floyd Shivambu’s decision to join the MK Party is purely opportunistic.
