Ekurhuleni mayoral race: EFF candidate Nthabiseng Tshivhenga vows to clean up corrupt EMPD officers
Economic Freedom Fighters mayoral candidate Nthabiseng Tshivhenga has called for thorough vetting to remove corrupt officers and criminals embedded within the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department.
Johannesburg - Six Ekurhuleni mayoral candidates will face residents in a town hall debate on Monday, addressing key issues ahead of the November 4 local government elections. The live discussion, starting at 11am, will focus on crime, corruption, and service delivery. The candidates, representing ActionSA, the EFF, DA, Patriotic Alliance, Rise Mzansi, and BOSA, will present their policy proposals in this town hall format, free of cheering crowds and campaign interruptions.
As Ekurhuleni grapples with ongoing service delivery issues, rising crime rates, and concerns over corruption, the debate aims to provide a platform for residents to directly question candidates on pressing local matters. This event is part of IOL's four-day Town Hall Debates, running from October 19 to 22, covering mayoral hopefuls from Gauteng's largest metropolitan municipalities in the lead-up to the local elections.
