Princess Faku tops ANC’s list of PR councillors for Buffalo City
Faku is vying for another term as mayor of the Buffalo City Metro.
Princess Faku, the Regional Chairperson of the African National Congress (ANC) in the Dr WB Rubusana region of the Eastern Cape, has emerged as the top candidate for Proportional Representation (PR) councillors in Buffalo City Metro. Faku is seeking a second term as the Executive Mayor of Buffalo City Metro, a key stronghold for the party.
With the upcoming Local Government Elections (LGE), it is believed that the party will secure an outright majority, allowing Faku to potentially return to her role as mayor. The 44-year-old is one of four party candidates vying for the position, with two candidates absent from the list and another ranking 33rd. Presently, the ANC holds 17 PR seats in the Metro council.
Faku emphasizes the importance of focusing on the economy and infrastructure development during her potential second term. She stresses the need for accountability within the administration and calls for the city's workforce to be aligned towards a common goal of a thriving city.
