"Ramaphosa won't survive" | EFF 10th anniversary, ANC Youth League, Life story, Julius Malema

In this exclusive episode of SMWX, we're joined by the EFF's Deputy President, Floyd Shivambu. In a candid, revealing and insightful conversation, Shivambu unpacks the currents of South African politics and gives us a glimpse into his own personal journey.
Shivambu addresses the elephant in the room - the fate of current President Ramaphosa. Will he still hold the reins of power after the next elections?
As the EFF celebrates its 10th anniversary, Shivambu reflects on the party's evolution over the past decade, its triumphs and challenges, and its vision for the future. The discussion then moves to the hot topic of 2024 coalitions - what could they mean for the EFF and South Africa at large?
Beyond the political machinations, this episode also delves into Shivambu's personal life story. From his early years to his political awakening and ascent to the upper echelons of the EFF.
Hear Shivambu's personal reflections on his longtime comrade, their shared journey within the EFF, and Malema's influence on South Africa's political landscape.
So get comfortable and prepare for an engrossing deep-dive into the life and thoughts of one of South Africa's most prominent political figures. Whether you're a political aficionado or just curious to know more about the state of South African politics, this episode is not one to miss.

I've waited forever to watch this interview happen. Shivambu is the most underrated political thinker in South Africa. He is incredibly knowledgeable and articulate with his every idea. Even Mbalula was forced to admit that this man is the ideological heartbeat of the EFF. I hope to see Mngxitama take up the podium next.

I got to give it to Floyd Shivambu - he does not have an ego like others to fight for power - he knows he is the number 2 and that his time will come - just look at COPE and so many other leaders who sabotaged their own for the naked lust of being Number 1.

Whether it's Shivambu or Malema South Africa will move forward in it's attempt to achieve total revolution and the emancipations of the blacks and their struggles waged by foreigners in the own country. South Africa is a black-man's, wife and children's country, there's no other reality!!! Time will tell, EFF is here now!!! Aluta Continua!!!

[@nathanielkgobe427]

What i like about DP Shibambu, he is always smiling when he speaks, no anger for anyone or any vendetta of some sort, the young man is very educated and intelligent, make no mistake DP when you meet is easily approachable, loving and always happy it's always exciting to be in his company, what you see is what you get, his friendship with JUJU is a very honest one, no rift between the two, you can hear when he introduce him in their Rallies that the man is full of Love for CIC, Infact old as i am over 70 years of age, Love prevailing among the Leadership of the EFF is exactly what makes me to have hope in this young vibrant, energetic, and loving movement, they are still young but very much disciplined albeit having some differences i surmise I've never heard them speaks ill or bad mouthing about each other publicly, which is a common problem with other political parties, so Eff is the party that would Liberate all Africans, from the colonizers.

[@mariasteenberg4589]

Being a well spoken person educated with no action plan excluding white people as being racists where would SA be? Stealing luting the country we have nothing. After 30 years or being BEE and the EFF 10 years within what have you build versus destroyed? Totally disgrace. A shame. Amazingly how nobody can step away from apartheid. A huge shame on the whole political issue of SA!😢

[@mulwelimaginya887]

[@thabangmotedi3599]

This man's academic journey sounds so familiar to many Wits graduates. I remember being chased at Mandela Bridge after those late afternoon exams. The struggle of getting up early in the am's to beat the traffic of main reef roads all because at that time accommodation was not given to people in Soweto, by the time you got to campus you are tired and by the time you get home you are tired. You still need to study and wake up early on top of that. This Man and many others of his like really had an impact of Wits politics. The political atmosphere they contributed to, on campus, allowed many to start question things for what they are.
