Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Former ActionSA Gauteng chairperson Bongani Baloyi says his new party, Xiluva, will contest the national elections in 2024.<\/p>\n

Baloyi announced the formation of his new political party at a press briefing in Johannesburg on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He said the party aimed to disrupt and change the narrative surrounding the youth by forcibly inserting themselves at the negotiation table.<\/p>\n

The party will register with the Electoral Commission of South Africa on 3 April.<\/p>\n

Baloyi said his departure from ActionSA confirmed the need for the youth to be included in the political sphere, adding young people were often overlooked and considered spectators in politics.<\/p>\n

He cited trust issues between him and ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba as his reason for leaving the party.<\/p>\n

Baloyi also announced former ActionSA Ekurhuleni leader Tlhogi Moseki would be the party’s chairperson.<\/p>\n

Until Wednesday, Moseki, who joined ActionSA in 2020, was a councillor in the Ekurhuleni Municipality.<\/p>\n

Moseki said the DA imposing its political will on ActionSA triggered his departure.<\/p>\n

Moseki, who did not adhere to the DA’s policies, said he favoured and supported Xiluva’s objectives which “belong to the books of history”.<\/p>\n

The party, which Baloyi said was an alternative political vehicle, will target people aged 18 to 45. He added it was born out of a sense of hopelessness and desperation based on the “home-grown ideology”, known as Ubuntu and multiracialism consisting of young, capable, and competent leaders.<\/p>\n

Baloyi referred to the EFF’s Julius Malema and Floyd Shivambu as well as musician Cassper Nyovest as good examples of young and successful leaders.<\/p>\n

He said the pace at which the current government was leading the country was slow, and encouraged the youth to be involved in politics beyond Twitter activism.<\/p>\n
