EFF’s Matiase vows to improve living conditions in Mangaung
Matiase has accused the ANC-led municipality of failing to address poverty and poor management.
Sam Matiase, a candidate for the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Mangaung, pledged during a community meeting in Bloemfontein to enhance the quality of life for residents. Matiase criticized the ANC-led municipal government for not addressing issues such as poverty, mismanagement, and infrastructure neglect. He emphasized that the EFF, unlike the ANC, does not make empty promises but rather fulfills its commitments, no matter the circumstances.
EFF member Axola Toto pointed the finger at maladministration and corruption as the root cause of Mangaung's service delivery problems, citing poor road conditions, electricity issues, and illegal dumping as evidence. Toto advocated for a complete change in leadership, suggesting that the current system in place is detrimental to the community.
He argued that transitioning to socialism might be necessary for the residents to regain their dignity, financial stability, and access to essential services. As the election approaches on November 4th, Mangaung residents are faced with a choice: either continue to suffer under the failing ANC administration or embrace the EFF's promise of positive change.
