Mzansi left scratching their heads
This move sparked controversy as South Africans were reminded of the time he begged for donations online.
Many scratched their heads as they wondered if he started this political party, as there is now known information about it.
@LungiYou asked:
"What party is this now? We have many political parties in this country... new political parties for what though."
@mrcool_SIYA mentioned:
"For sure hunger is the motivation behind the move, life is hard."
@Ihhashi_Turkei said:
"No man, a new political party everyday, voters will be so confused."
@Lloydbhudda shared:
"Vusi Thanda is from my hometown eBhofolo. He hardly passes the test for being trustworthy."
@LungiYou said:
"This is a disgrace to the Eastern Cape, Vusi Thanda is also struggling though."
@VusiSambo joked:
"The AMC wants to dislodge the ANC from the main dinner table in the Eastern Cape. And the former’s answer to Cde Chairman Premier Oscar Mabuyane is some washed-up actor pensioner from yesteryear."
