A number of smaller parties launch manifestos in Eastern Cape
ISANCO and the AMC have joined hands for the upcoming LGEs.
The Independent South African National Civic Organisation (ISANCO) and the African Movement Congress (AMC) are launching manifestos in the Eastern Cape ahead of the local government elections (LGE). ISANCO holds seats in a few municipalities in the Eastern Cape and Gauteng, while AMC is a political structure fighting for state power.
AMC's regional coordinator, Mandisi Ngxumza, says they will focus on improving service delivery and reducing crime in the OR Tambo region. Phakama Eastern Cape, a new party, has also entered the race and has five key issues on their agenda, including tackling illegal immigrants, reducing electricity tariffs, addressing unemployment, combating crime and corruption, and improving infrastructure.
These two parties are competing against over twenty other parties and independent candidates for seats in the King Sabata Dalindyebo Municipality.
