Cases

Floyd Shivambu

EFF Deputy President at the time; later left the EFF

Ethics finding (non-disclosure)+2.0

Parliament's Joint Ethics Committee found he breached the ethics code by failing to disclose R180,000 paid to him in 2017 by Sgameka Projects, a company implicated in the VBS Mutual Bank collapse. The National Assembly adopted the finding and a nine-day salary deduction in November 2023.

Counted under the EFF because the finding relates to his conduct as EFF Deputy President. He has since left the EFF.

Their side

Public statement03 Oct 2023

The EFF called the committee's conclusion irrational and said it would challenge it in court. His urgent court application against the sanction was struck off the roll in February 2024.
