Minority Front open to forming coalitions with ‘like-minded parties’
The party launched its manifesto for November's local government elections.
Shameen Thakur-Rajbansi, the leader of the Minority Front party, expressed her openness to forming stable coalitions with like-minded parties in order to govern municipalities. Thakur-Rajbansi addressed a crowd in Durban during the launch of the party's manifesto for the upcoming local government elections. She emphasized the party's focus on serving the people and working with other parties to improve service delivery.
According to Thakur-Rajbansi, the Minority Front is mature and people-centred, willing to agree on necessary measures while acknowledging areas of disagreement. The party plans to contest all metropolitan municipalities throughout South Africa, including major cities like eThekwini, Johannesburg, Tshwane, and Cape Town. In KwaZulu-Natal alone, the party is running in seven municipalities, such as Msunduzi, KwaDukuza, and Inkosi Langalibalele.
Thakur-Rajbansi promised to generate employment opportunities and reform SETAs (Skills Development Authorities) to help young people. She emphasized the importance of prioritizing communities and creating a strong team of councillors who will tackle complex issues, such as food scarcity, energy needs, and transportation.
