“The EFF has been dealt yet another blow with its deputy president and founding member, Floyd Shivambu, resigning from the party. He will be joining former president Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto Wesizwe party but did not reveal which position he will be occupying.”

    Who the hell is Clyde? Yes I agree MK is a Zulu nationalism party mainly, but apart from their chatgpt inspired manifesto I am assuming the MK is basically a breakaway from the ANC, basically Zuma’s ANC, just like EFF is another breakaway party from the ANC, Malema’s ANC. Zuma and Malema were, before Malema’s expulsion, buddy buddy. Basically both were yelling Marxist rhetoric about seizing the land and mines for economic liberation for the masses. Both Malema and Zuma have documented corruption, Zuma with the arms deal, Guptas, Venda Bank (Zuma’s list is insanely large), Malema with the on point engineering and also Venda Bank. Both come from the same political school apart from Malema is Pedi and Zuma is Zulu, basically the same caliper and vying for the same vote, look how the MK ate into the ANC and especially the EFF vote. The smart thing for the EFF to do is join the MK since what they want is basically the same thing

      That’s not Marxism, Clyde - that’s just nationalisation. You know, that thing capitalist countries are constantly doing?

      Both Malema and Zuma have documented corruption

      Very Marxist, eh?

      Zuma with the arms deal

      Oh so Marxist, buying arms from capitalist conglomerates.

      Guptas

      Yes, that’s on page 4 of Das Kapital, “Though shallt fraternise with capitalists everywhere.”

      For crying out loud… just admit that you don’t have a clue what it is you are talking about. The Klippies-and-Coke brigade has misinformed you, okay? That’s not your fault… but nobody can fix this state of affairs for you.

      Also I was like 1 year old in the first 1994 election, so I do not remember the death squads or Nats, I will be honest, I remember and know nothing of it, have heard-ish about it but being here in Limpopo I have been far away from any real Zulu influence
