Papa Penny supports Floyd Shivambu after being removed as MK’s General Secretary
Musician-turned-politician Papa Penny has weighed in on the drama surrounding Floyd Shivambu’s Easter visit to Malawi, and Mzansi can’t stop talking about it.
In a video that surfaced on social media this week, the flamboyant Xitsonga artist came to Shivambu’s defence, insisting that the politician had every right to visit Prophet Shiburi.
The clip, shared by @_mashesha on X, shows Papa Penny passionately backing the ex-EFF deputy president, who has faced criticism over the controversial trip.
“Anyone can go wherever he wants in the holidays,” Papa Penny said in the video.
“I want to put these things clear of SG Floyd Shivambu. He never do anything wrong to his private life.”
The MK Party member’s bold take sparked reactions online, with many users either amused or in agreement.
One commenter joked, “Without the permission of the country, you never make noise, in the during of covid. We stand with Penny Penny in these difficult times.”
Another added, “This one will be gone soon! Considering his extraordinary performance in parliament.”
Papa Penny has released a statement as an MK member.
