Election on water and jobs: Limpopo opposition accuses Mbeki and Zuma of lying to voters
Here's what political parties in Limpopo are planning as we head to the polls in November.
A Limpopo opposition party has accused former presidents Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma of lying to voters to secure support in past elections. Seun Mogotjie, Secretary-General of the Bolsheviks Party of South Africa, claimed that Mbeki lied in 2002 and Zuma lied in 2014. Mbeki promised to turn Sekhukhune District into an industrial hub, but Mogotjie noted that the unemployment rate remains high at 40.9%, with youth unemployment at 60.6%.
Jacob Zuma promised to supply Muyexe with clean water, but Mogotjie pointed out that villagers continue to struggle with water shortages, poor roads, and high unemployment. The Socialist Agenda of the Dispossessed Africans (Sada) expressed concern about ANC leadership's track record, citing incomplete projects like the Moutse Drought Relief and Loskop Bulk Water Supply Project.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) promised to end corruption and provide reliable services, while the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) declared the ANC to be on life support and offered to deliver basic services with precision.
