ACM to contest in six Free State municipalities: Motsoeneng

The ACM's Hlaudi Motsoeneng says he wants to prioritize addressing high unemployment

Hlaudi Motsoeneng, the leader of the African Content Movement (ACM), has announced that his party will contest in six municipalities within the Thabo Mofutsanyana District Municipality in the Free State for the upcoming local government elections on November 4, 2026. The six municipalities are Mantsopa, Setsoto, Phumelela, Dihlabeng, Maluti-a-Phofung, and Nketoana. Motsoeneng, who is also contesting for the district, states that the people of these municipalities wish for his party to take control.

The ACM's primary objective is to address historical service delivery backlogs, but this is secondary to their main concern - high unemployment in South Africa. Motsoeneng believes that by tackling unemployment, they can simultaneously address the crime rate, as a significant portion of criminal activity is due to people who are jobless.
