LOCAL ELECTIONS 2026: Moneybags Malema promises NMB free water and electricity, and bigger RDP houses
EFF president Julius Malema promised Nelson Mandela Bay residents free water and electricity, bigger RDP houses, more social grants and free school meals and uniforms – pledges that stretch well beyond the powers and responsibilities of local government.
Local election 2026 candidate Julius Malema of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) promised residents of Nelson Mandela Bay free water and electricity, bigger RDP houses, more social grants, free school meals and uniforms. These promises extend far beyond the powers and responsibilities of a local government. At a manifesto launch in Motherwell Stadium, Malema vowed to provide free water and electricity to social grant recipients and upgrade decaying infrastructure if his party wins control of the metro after the local government elections on November 4th.
