Malema attacks prominent EFF leaders for not defending the party

Loading player...
The silence of popular EFF members during former deputy leader Floyd Shivambu's resignation has irritated party leader Julius Malema.
Malema read a section of the party’s constitution which obliges members not to be silent when the organisation is being “attacked”. 
Malema’s rant comes after Shivambu defected to Jacob Zuma’s MK Party. Shivambu and MP Mzwanele Manyi resigned last week.
It's expected that other party members could also leave. 
Leaders who are usually vocal but who have been silent about the latest developments since Shivambu’s departure include Dali Mpofu, who is associated with Zuma as his advocate, and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi. There have been rumours that they are among those who intend to leave the EFF.
