Election campaigns for COPE gains momentum in Mpumalanga

BY BRIAN KAJENGO

As the day for the National Elections is knocking around the corner, COPE in Mpumalanga is making massive strides in its door to door elections campaigns aimed at gaining support for the party.

The provincial leaders of COPE were on the ground over the weekend with the provincial deputy chairperson Comrade Nomsa Kubayi recruiting for votes in the Mkhuhlu and surrounding areas.

The premier candidate of COPE, Comrade Sizile Ndlovu, who was accompanied by other comrades, went on a door to door campaign in Msholozi and neighboring places near White River.

The weekend for COPE in Mpumalanga started with an outside radio broadcast   (live interview) by Ligwalagwala FM at KaNyamazane community hall on Friday evening.

This broadcast was attended by a number of political parties including EFF, DA, UDM and others.

The parties were asked to explain to the people what their manifestoes entailed and what their political parties aimed to do if they were elected into government.

Comrade Ndlovu was the one who represented COPE and outlined a number of issues that COPE intends to sort out if it was given the mandate by the voters.

Water for the people, the damaged roads and jobs in the province topped the issues that COPE intended to make sure they were solved.

Comrade Ndlovu also pointed out that COPE intended to appoint a trained police commissioner instead of the ones that were politically deployed.

He insisted that South Africa indeed needed a better government as compared to the ANC led government that has failed the people of the country despite having ruled for 20.

A picture for the group of leaders who were on a door to door campaign in the Mkhuhlu area and who were led by Comrade Nomsa Kubayi is attached to this media statement to support it.

COPE will continue to make the expected strides and will participate in the election debate that SAFM will broadcast live on April 12.
