COPE believes that the taste of the pudding is in the eating. COPE in Mpumalanga believes that it gonna turn all the tides because it has much time to market its manifestos with supporters.

Mpumalanga COPE accuses the ruling party for taking out COPE posters and replace them with ANC posters.

COPE leaders in Mpumalanga busted a man who is believed to be a member of the ANC in the process of removing COPE posters along the R40 road in Mbombela on Monday 3 March 2014.

The leaders of COPE, Mpumalanga chairman Comrade Sizile Ndlovu and colleague Trevor Nkosi were in a campaign to monitor the election posters when they came across a number of men wearing ANC T-shirts along the road.

The two comrades also noticed that one of the men was busy removing posters belonging to COPE from the street lamp poles and replacing them with ANC posters.

“This shows that the ANC is hell-bent in promoting lack of political tolerance in the country and this is mostly seen during election times. This is not something that COPE is ready to take for granted and is very unacceptable,” said COPE Mpumalanga chairman, Comrade Sizile Ndlovu.

Ndlovu told the Bvunzamutupo that police were approached and the man was arrested on the spot.
