From the best decision ever to family stokvel, Floyd Shivambu's U-turn on MK Party, slams Jacob Zuma

Floyd Shivambu’s Mayibuye Consultation Forum in Mpumalanga Mayibuye Consultation Forum, held in Bushbuckridge from 25–27 July 2025. Over 600 delegates—including civic associations, former MKP members, student leaders, and traditional authorities—gathered to tackle rural economic marginalisation, high youth unemployment, and persistent service-delivery failures. Shivambu opened with a call for ubuntu-driven solidarity and concrete upliftment programs that go beyond political rhetoric. Throughout the weekend, participants split into three thematic workshops: Economic Solidarity: Building local co-operatives, township entrepreneurial hubs and micro-loan networks Governance & Accountability: Designing community-led monitoring tools for municipal service delivery Social Upliftment: Integrating grassroots healthcare outreach with after-school educational support Traditional leaders outlined how customary forums will feed directly into the Mayibuye process, ensuring that local voices shape national strategy. Senior figures from eight smaller political groupings pledged ongoing support for the initiative’s roll-out.
