The publication of an affidavit from the former chair of VBS detailing how, on his version, he paid money to the EFF’s top two leaders is bound to put Julus Malema and Floyd Shivambu under more pressure than ever before. While the EFF will defend its leaders and point to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala cash, it is battling to explain why it received so much money from the proceeds of crime.
