When the country goes to the voting booth on May 29 for the national and provincial government elections, the Eastern Cape will have six leaders vying to be SA’s next president. The approved ballot paper for the National Assembly shows that six men from the province will be leading their parties as presidential candidates.
Proposals to remove provincial governments and give municipalities more authority over local affairs have been made by Azapo, which launched its provincial manifesto at the weekend. The launch was in Patensie outside Gqeberha on Saturday followed by a door-to-door campaign in Ncera outside East London the day after.
