LOCAL ELECTIONS 2026: ANC hero Marius Schoon’s son, Fritz, is a DA candidate for Joburg
Fritz Schoon’s family fought for the ANC. He chose the DA. He tells us why.
Marius Schoon's son, Fritz Schoon, is a DA candidate vying for a seat in Joburg's Ward 64, encompassing Yeoville, Berea, Bertrams, and Judiths Paarl. Born in Botswana and raised in various African nations, Fritz's family has deep roots in the ANC. However, Fritz himself chose a different political path. In an interview, he explained that his conversion to the DA came after witnessing the corruption and lack of accountability in the ANC during the post-apartheid era, particularly due to the Arms Deal scandal.
With his mother and sister tragically killed in 1984, Fritz's story reflects the complex journey of a man seeking change within the political landscape of South Africa.
