Media personality Sizwe Dhlomo has publicly questioned the viability of Floyd Shivambu's fundraising efforts for his new political party, the Afrika Mayibuye Movement. Dhlomo expressed skepticism on social media about whether individuals would pay two million rand for a seat beside the leader at an upcoming gala event.
The high-priced fundraiser, scheduled for the Mhulu Boutique Hotel, offers various donor packages to finance the fledgling party's activities and a national convention. Shivambu, who recently departed from the EFF and MK Party, is aiming to build a new political force with this financial backing.
Dhlomo's comments, which suggested Shivambu lacks the influence of other established political figures, ignited widespread discussion online. The criticism highlights the challenges new parties face in securing donor support while maintaining a public image aligned with the economic struggles of ordinary citizens.
