Godi calls on voters to elect councillors who’ll deliver services
The APC president says corruption remains a major problem in many municipalities.
African People’s Convention (APC) leader Themba Godi urged citizens to vote for councillors capable of delivering services, rather than those chosen by their preferred political parties. Speaking to APC members in Bushbuckridge, Godi highlighted corruption as a significant issue in many municipalities. "We cannot expect those who have created the problems to solve them," he stated.
Godi emphasized that those who mishandle public funds should not be re-elected, as they have already proven their inability to manage resources responsibly. He criticized candidates who select blind councillors to facilitate corrupt activities, citing an example from Bushbuckridge. Despite this, some APC members expressed satisfaction with the candidates chosen nationwide for the upcoming local government elections.
They emphasized their commitment to bringing about change and responding to the needs of their constituents. APC members called on their supporters to uphold their end of the bargain and not disappoint the voters who elected them. In Mpumalanga, the APC is set to announce their mayoral candidates ahead of the 2026 local government elections.
