Tumelo Mlangeni: Shivambu’s “corruption allergic” new party targets unregistered votes for big support…

The new party of former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Deputy President and MKP SG Floyd Shivambu is wooing the vast pool of unregistered South African voters for the support it would need to get the Afrika Mayibuye Movement (MAYIBUYE) into government. In this interview with BizNews, the party’s Head of Political Education, Tumelo Mlangeni says: “Combined, the population that is not voting could be able to bring us to government…our primary focus is really not the EFF and the MKP. As mentioned, they are quite small organisations. Our focus is also not the ANC. The ANC is dying a natural death.” Meanwhile, MAYIBUYE has set down strict guidelines for the conduct of its leaders. “We are about to roll out a major induction programme to all the structures of Afrika Mayibuye…And that induction will be guided by the Manifesto, which clearly pronounces what we expect from them….Any thought of corruption within Afrika Mayibuye, is frowned upon. Just a thought….We are bringing about a new leadership core with values that are allergic to corruption.” Mlangeni also calls for the transformation of policing. “…if a government is corrupt and if a government is criminal in nature, the enforcers of the laws that are passed by government will obviously also take advantage of the society”.
