Quick Glance: EFF's Shivambu as Finance Minister Would Truly Spook the Markets
- In typical EFF fashion, politician Julius Malema recently made the controversial statement that the EFF would only consider a coalition with the ANC after the elections if EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu is appointed finance minister.
- DA leader John Steenhuisen did not mince his words at the recent launch of his party’s Western Cape manifesto in Paarl, in the Drakenstein Municipality.
- Steenhuisen warned that under a coalition with Shivambu as finance minister, the EFF would unleash its destructive economic policies to turn South Africa into the next Venezuela or Zimbabwe.
- Investment strategist Izak Odendaal from Old Mutual Wealth says it is unlikely that Shivambu would take on what is arguably the most important Cabinet position, even in the event of an ANC-EFF coalition.
