Baloyi, who also resigned from ActionSA two weeks ago, said he has received numerous requests for engagements from various political parties.
“My political journey is public record for everyone to interrogate and consume. Throughout my time in politics, I have sought to champion a cause that is beyond me,” he said.
Baloyi said this is why he decided to create a political vehicle to give a home to young people and those who are desperate for an alternative.
“This is the birth of Xiluva. A political home for those who want a real alternative led by young people.
“This political home is for those who believe that they do not have any stake into our democracy, those who are bystanders, watching politicians gamble their future away,” he said.
Baloyi who is also a former councillor, MMC and executive mayor of Midvaal under the DA administration, said his party will contest the 2024 general elections.
