Floyd Shivambu from the Afrika Mayibuye Movement told reporters his party is stable after a bunch of top people bailed on him. The guy claims he kicked out weak performers who could not handle basic tasks, and he announced a new leadership crew with three deputy presidents during a press conference in Soweto. His party launched in September after he ditched the EFF, where he was deputy president for over a decade.
Shivambu wants the government to declare water shortages a national disaster and set up a commission to tackle black poverty. His movement has already drilled boreholes in Limpopo and the Eastern Cape, and they plan irrigation projects in KwaZulu-Natal. Former first deputy Robert Nwedo quit because he was juggling union work at the same time, and another deputy got fired back in October.
The party holds its first national convention at the University of Johannesburg this weekend, and Shivambu thinks they will win the 2029 elections.
