Ability to present united front rattled by instability.

As the EFF faces internal turmoil in the runup to its third elective conference and the 2026 local government elections, political analysts warn that cracks are starting to show.

With key figures like Floyd Shivambu exiting and more members expected to follow, questions arise about the EFF's future, particularly the party's stability and ability to present a unified front in the upcoming elective conference and local elections.

Political analyst Ntsikelelo Breakfast emphasised the potential instability within the EFF.

"The departure of Shivambu has rattled the cage. Malema is intelligent but very abrasive and everything in the party revolves around him. That is why his speech was filled with anger, but what we are seeing unfold indicates that the future is bleak.
