[Fana Mokoena @fanamokoena]

This election has given us our first foot in the electoral space. And in the journey of building a MOVEMENT and not just an electoral tool, this was a valuable lesson. We participated in almost all the battlefields in an honest and humble manner I am personally very proud. Salute

Floyd Shivambu and his newly formed Afrika Mayibuye Movement achieved a notable debut in the 2026 Local Government Elections (LGE), securing over 72,000 national votes.

While the party failed to break into the top 10 national leaderboards, it successfully established a footprint in municipalities across South Africa.

Key Performance Highlights
Strong Regional Pockets: The movement showed its strongest performance in the Limpopo province. During the counting process, it emerged as the second-largest party in two key municipalities, securing approximately 18% of the vote in Greater Giyani and 14% in Collins Chabane.

·Radical Economic Transformation of South Africa
National Strategy over Regional Focus: Shivambu stated that the party intentionally chose to build a national presence across multiple provinces rather than concentrating all campaign resources solely on Limpopo and Gauteng.

Shivambu's Verdict: Expressing satisfaction with the results, Shivambu stated that the party successfully "planted a seed" and built an essential foundation ahead of the 2029 National Elections.

Reaction to Other Parties and Coalitions
Following the release of the election results, Shivambu offered several notable political assessments at the Results Operations Centre in Midrand:
Critique of the EFF: Shivambu took direct aims at his former political home, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), mocking them for crashing below the 7% national mark (sitting at roughly 6.24%) despite their massive campaign budget and access to government power.

Coalition Stance: He dismissed the immediate likelihood of a "progressive coalition," criticizing current South African coalition talks as being driven by "childish politics". He maintained that the leading parties should be allowed to govern municipalities directly while his movement focuses on consolidating its branches for the future.

Afrika Mayibuye Movement has suddenly become the story of these elections. South African Media is hugely fascinated by a year-old Movement that has emerged as the biggest winner of all first time participants

[Prof Moya @MoyaProf]

Afrika Mayibuye, led by Commander General Floyd Shivambu, scooped 7 seats nationally so far; this is their 1st election: Massive applause.

More seats expected as Mayibuye gives ANC massive headaches in Greater Giyani. Great performance for a party with little donors. 💚❤️

[Floyd Shivambu @FloydShivambu]

Thus far @mayibuye_afrika is the youngest yet largest political formation in south Africa that’s not in any Municipality Council, Legislature or Parliament. We are doing far much better than represented political parties who are funded by the establishment. We will have Councillors is almost all Provinces. We have spread the seed of Mayibuye across South Africa’s and the future will benefit from the fruits of the trees that will germinate, and bear the fruits of Total Freedom and Emancipation.

No surrender! No retreat! The mandate remains. Mayibuye iAfrika
