PAC’s President warns against voting for Zille as JHB mayor
Thami ka Plaatjie's been announced as the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania's Joburg's mayoral pick
Mzwanele Nyhontso, president of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC), has cautioned attendees at the party's Manifesto launch in Johannesburg against voting for Helen Zille, the Democratic Alliance (DA) candidate for Johannesburg's mayor. Nyhontso made this statement while unveiling the PAC's manifesto ahead of the local government elections in Jabulani, Soweto, on Saturday.
The PAC Manifesto Launch took place at the Soweto Amphitheatre, where Nyhontso unveiled the party's People's Manifesto. The party has selected Thami ka Plaatjie, the former Secretary General who recently returned to the PAC from the African National Congress (ANC), as its Johannesburg mayoral candidate. Nyhontso urged people not to be misled into thinking that Cape Town, governed by the DA, is well-run.
He pointed out that many black people in Cape Town, particularly in areas like Philippi, live in shacks and face high levels of insecurity. Nyhontso emphasized that Zille will not bring change to Johannesburg's black residents but will benefit the white population instead. He cautioned against playing with power, people, and the notion that Cape Town is well-run, highlighting the suffering of Cape Town residents who have endured hardships under the DA's leadership.
