Recently ousted as secretary-general of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, Floyd Shivambu is charting a bold new course. He has announced intentions to engage South Africans in consultations about forming a fresh political party aimed at contesting the 2026 local government elections and the 2029 national elections.
Shivambu’s move signals a potential shake-up in South Africa’s political landscape, as he seeks to build a platform distinct from his former party. His outreach to citizens suggests a strategy focused on broad-based support, aiming to capitalize on widespread political dissatisfaction ahead of critical upcoming polls.
This development marks a pivotal moment for Shivambu, who appears ready to redefine his political legacy on his own terms.
