Xaba tops ANC list of 106 candidates for representation in eThekwini
eThekwini mayor Cyril Xaba tops ANC list of 106 candidates for representation in the metro.
Cyril Xaba from eThekwini leads the ANC list of 106 candidates for proportional representation in the upcoming local government elections in November. The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) has released the candidate lists for both ward and PR councillors. Mkhuleko Hlengwa, the Deputy Transport Minister and IFP mayoral candidate, heads his party's PR list.
Haniff Hoosen, the Democratic Alliance (DA) mayoral candidate, is listed as No. 1 on the party's PR list, followed by Sithembiso Ngema, the party's provincial leader. Zandile Hlophe-Mkhwanazi, who was previously removed from the uMkhonto Wesizwe Party's mayoral candidate position, tops the party's PR list. However, her chosen replacement, Apostle Mxolisi Phakathi, does not make the cut.
Hlophe-Mkhwanazi faced accusations of list manipulation when she submitted it to the IEC last month.
