Political analyst Levy Ndou says former uMkhonto weSizwe Party MKP Secretary-General, Floyd Shivambu, still has the potential to make a huge mark in South African politics.
Shivambu has announced that hes starting consultations on whether he should start a political party.
The former Secretary General of the MK Party has, however, dismissed any speculation he might be leaving the MK Party anytime soon.
Dr Ndou says Shivambus still quite young.
"But of course, it couldve been a good idea to start with consultation, to get the views of other people out there so that you know exactly where you stand. When you decide or when the time is right for the political party to be formed, Shivambu with his history in the South African politics, he cannot be just easily be lost to South Africa. And age is on his side. Hes got all the energy at his disposal. And I think he can still make a huge impact in the body politics of South Africa," says Ndou.
