South African media personality Warras recently poked fun at politicians Mmusi Maimane and Floyd Shivambu.

A post of the National Assembly member, Maimane, and the Afrika Mayibuye Movement founder, Shivambu, addressing their followers, attracted reactions from social media users.

After being accused of copying the Economic Freedom Fighters' logo when he unveiled his party's logo, peeps accused him of copying Maimane. In one picture, Maimane wore a black silky shirt with the words, strength, presidential, and inspirational written in gold. Floyd's shirt was very similar to Maimane's, but his had the word presidential written in silver.

X user @_mashesha sparked the discourse when he compared the two politicians' shirts, which are similar in context.

"Is this shirt for people with desperate presidential ambitions?" he asked.

The media personality, Warras, could not miss the opportunity to poke fun at Floyd Shivambu and Mmusi Maimane.

In disbelief, Warras asked, "There’s no way. This has to be A.I."

Kaya 959 radio presenter, Sizwe Dhlomo, who has openly hated on Floyd Shivambu in the past, chimed in and said mockingly that it was definitely real.

Former uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party Secretary-General, Shivambu, officially launched his party on Friday, 5 September 2025. In a press conference, he said the formation was after a lengthy consultation process with citizens.

“Throughout the consultation process, participants repeatedly emphasised their desire to be healed without interruption or judgement, sharing deep insights into these struggles that have long been known by those in power,” he said.

Sizwe and Floyd never saw eye to eye. The gentlemen had a mini twar on Twitter when Sizwe called Floyd desperate and uncalculative. Floyd hit back and dragged Sizwe for filth. "I humbly think you have an over-exaggerated view of yourself, brother. I don’t know you, have never spoken to you, but you seem like you feel entitled to how I do politics. I don’t know what you do, and I humbly advise that you focus there. Please!"
