BARBERTON – Casting his vote at Barberton Hoerskool, the executive mayor of Umjindi Local Municipality, Cllr Lazarus Mashaba indicated that he is confident that the ANC will win the elections.
He said that Mpumalanga is the home of the ruling party and cast his vote to honour the heroes that played a significant role in fighting for freedom of this country. ”I am certain and confident that the ANC will lead this province and the country again and Mpumalanga will make history as Mpumalanga is known as the home of ANC.“
He further said that since the country got democracy, a lot has happened to better the lives of the people and stated that there are
mistakes that they committed and they are correcting them which is distancing themselves from the community. This, he said, led to some of the community members to embark on service delivery protests.
”We have noticed that we were distancing ourselves from the community. We were not communicating well,“ he explained.
