Holomisa for Eastern Cape premier. What a refreshing thought! What a brilliant idea it would be for the long-suffering people of the Eastern Cape to be blessed with a leader of Bantu Holomisa's calibre as their premier, after years of surviving under the most corrupt leadership ever.
The UDM is hoping for a resurgence in the upcoming national and provincial elections feeding off an electorate tired of corruption with a focus on a back-to-basics campaign, and a concerted effort to mobilise the youth.
UDM leader Bantu Holomisa has accused finance minister Enoch Godongwana of impeding the formation of a task team to assist apartheid-era civil servants who worked in the homelands and were cheated out of their pension money. Holomisa spoke in a podcast interview with DispatchLIVE on Friday afternoon after concluding his two-day “presidential visit” to the Eastern Cape.
“If that is his attitude, then he must forget about working with the UDM. I do not know what kind of politics he is trying to convey to the citizens of this country,” says UDM leader Bantu Holomisa.
Two political parties have distanced themselves from the proposed “moonshot pact” to unseat the governing ANC, barely three days after it was announced by DA leader John Steenhuisen.
