Dr Pixley ka Isaka Seme House: The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has once again showed strength following a landslide victory in the by-election in Ward 28 in Ray Nkonyeni Municipality. This ward, which was previously represented by the ANC, became vacant following the death of an ANC councilor, Cde Mziwandile Herbert Mncube who was loved by the community.
The ANC pays tribute to individual members of the community who exercised their rights and voted for their candidates. The ward was contested by Victor Bekithemba Zulu of the (ANC); Musawenkosi Collin Xolo of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF); and Lindeni Goodness Jama of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP).
In yesterday’s by-election, the ANC once again emerged victorious and won by 88.35%. This is a clear indication that the community has confidence in the glorious movement of liberation stalwarts - former President Nelson Mandela and Mama Albertina Sisulu.
The ANC undertakes to strengthen service delivery to demonstrate appreciation to ordinary members of society who once again voted for the ANC. During the 2017 municipal by-elections the voter turn-out was 45.94% and the ANC candidate won the ward with 91.41% of valid votes.
