Now, Fana Mokoena took to social media on 23 June to reshare the press release, seemingly pledging his support for Floyd Shivambu.

In the X statement, Floyd expressed gratitude for the unwavering support from people after he announced his new party. He also noted the number of people who had signed up to become volunteers.

"The Mayibuye Engagement Team extends its heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support received during our recent press conference, as well as to the hundreds of thousands of South Africans who have already submitted their details to volunteer and participate in this historic initiative."

Shivambu has called for more people to sign up to be volunteers. "These teams will play a key role in consulting with communities and collecting views from every corner of the country."

SA reacts to Mokoena's post

Here are some of the reactions from social media users.

@Sthamber said:

"It is not about winning the national polls but making it into parliament. It has nothing to do with serving the citizens. The objective is clear."

@majoyana31 asked:

"I want to know what does it entail to be a volunteer?"

@mabob1023 claimed:

"The post has all the characteristics of a cult leader, promoting himself, but what if the consultation process provides a different view of leadership and wants an ordinary person."

@2Choseguy asked:

"Sir, we respect you, don’t involve yourself in this nonsense. This will be like Agang."

@SboneloMvelaseh joked:

"He said, wait, don't join any political party, I'm going to learn something from Zuma and, then come back from our party."

@Mlandzeni1 asked:

"Leadership, I see you’re also there, what is going on, guys."

@MokoneNgwato reacted:

"You are positioning yourself as one of the top six leaders for this stockvel. We see you."

Sizwe Dhlomo angers Floyd Shivambu

In a previous report from Briefly News, radio presenter Sizwe Dhlomo angered Floyd Shivambu by giving him unsolicited advice.

Taking to X, the Kaya 959 star told the former Secretary General of the MK Party, "Your problem is you don’t know how to execute, and you move like you’re desperate @FloydShivambu. Chill bro, didisa. Lie low for like two months or something, then come back and say you’ve consulted. Not this thing!" he exclaimed.
