Former EFF MP accuses Malema, Shivambu of VBS looting
A former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Member of Parliament (MP), Thembinkosi Rawula, has accused the party's leader, Julius Malema, and his deputy, Floyd Shivambu, of using party funds for personal gain.
In a lengthy Facebook post, Rawula says Malema has admitted that the party looted funds from VBS mutual bank.
Rawula was also a member of the EFF's CCT (Central Command Team).
"The political overview of Julius Malema in the most recent CCT meeting admitted to EFF taking VBS money to finance the revolution. In fact, he said, “sometimes we are forced to kiss dogs or devil to get funding”. The VBS money was done under the full knowledge of the leadership,"
He also claims the party's spokesperson, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi wrote a letter complaining about Malema's lifestyle.
"We are further aware, that there is a letter in which Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi wrote to the officials complaining about the lifestyle of Julius Malema and how he abuses the EFF funds. It is reported that Ndlozi went to tell people closer to Julius Malema who reported him to them, man. Ndlozi was summoned to officials where he was embarrassed and reduced into nothing to a point he was told that he joined the EFF through an interview. So he must not come here and be curious here,"

Rawula accused Malema and Shivambu of being dictators who don't share the party's financial records with their members for transparency.
In reaction, Ndlozi took to Twitter and accused Rawula of being part of a "Stratcom propaganda" and peddling lies because he has not been included in the EFF's parliamentary list ahead of the elections.
