Afrika Mayibuye supporters demand service delivery

Afrika Mayibuye launched their manifesto, in Limpopo

Supporters of the Afrika Mayibuye Movement in Limpopo have taken to the streets, demanding that their party leaders put genuine service delivery above empty campaign pledges. Dressed in the party's colors, hundreds of supporters gathered at Xithlelani Village, near Malamulele in the Collins Chabane Local Municipality, for the launch of their manifesto.

The Afrika Mayibuye Movement has expressed concern over youth unemployment and the lack of service delivery in the Vhembe region. The party is set to hold its election manifesto rally in Malamulele, within the Collins Chabane Local Municipality in Limpopo.

Party leader Floyd Shivambu kicked off the rally with a keynote address. Earlier, party members expressed their disappointment with past political promises, urging the party to tackle the long-standing issues of service delivery failures in the Vhembe District. As the crowd gathered outside, Shivambu implored the party to address the pressing issue of water shortages, emphasizing that mere words would not suffice.

He demanded concrete solutions on how people could obtain water and stressed the need for political will in solving the region's problems. "I am expecting him to talk about the shortage of water and to come with solutions, not just an empty speech," Shivambu stated. "Remember Collins Chabane, there’s no shortage of water, it needs political will. We don’t have roads and we can’t use cars on our roads."
