Build One South Africa (BOSA) leader Mmusi Maimane has taken a swipe at Floyd Shivambu’s political standing with the MK Party and his controversial visit to Prophet Shepard Bushiri, a fugitive of South Africa.
On Thursday, 19 June, the former secretary-general held a press briefing in which he expressed interest in forming his own party. He also used the opportunity to insult his former parties, the EFF and the ANC.
Outspoken Floyd also indirectly threw shade at Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, the daughter of former president Jacob Zuma.
MMUSI MAIMANE TAKES SWIPE AT FLOYD SHIVAMBU
With Floyd Shivambu’s press conference a hot topic on social media, Mmusi Maimane used his X account to mock the MK MP’s headlines.
Hinting at his visit to the wanted Malawian pastor, and Floyd’s prospective party, Mmusi posted: “Join @BuildOneSA. We will not Bushiri you”.
Addressing South Africans, Mmusi Maimane continued in another post: “You deserve a political party that does not chase false prophets. You deserve a political party that is not a family business.
“Join the party of ubuntu and professionalism, not umuntu and bushirism”.
Throwing more shade – this time at Mzansi’s viral drug feind – he added: “Others, they have Alostro”.
POLITICS AND CHRISTIANITY
Apart from politics, Mmusi Maimaine is also an ordained minister and an elder at the Liberty Church in Johannesburg.
The father of three – who has a masters in theology – also regularly preaches at churches around South Africa and around the world.
He said of his choice of career: “Politics is about two things: it’s about government and it’s about influence…the only way they (Christians) will become in charge of the nation is if the nation votes for them.”
