"Bro went from sitting in the National Assembly to standing behind Floyd, holding a bottle of water like a Bottle Girl in a club."

@KobbeAfc said:

"His move from the EFF to Shivambu's MK Party initiatives in June 2025 demonstrates the fluidity with which political allegiances can shift in response to internal tensions or perceived opportunities. This constant movement destabilisesboth individual careers and party cohesion."

@UncleDee1234 replied:

"Fana gave Floyd something and used the bottle as a distraction."
