JOHANNESBURG – As the country edges closer to next week’s elections, small political parties like the Congress of the People , Agang SA and African Democratic Change have made promises to the electorate, including a commitment to arrest former President Jacob Zuma.
The parties, which have been labelled failed by some, have told Eyewitness News that they want South Africans to give them a second chance.Agang SA’s Andries Tlouman: “If people vote for us, one thing we’re going to do is to arrest Mr Jacob Zuma. Second thing is that we’re going to arrest Mr Ace Magashule.”
Cope’s Papi Kganare said that South Africans must vote because the party won’t expropriate land without compensation. “It’s unconstitutional in the first place. It’s a wrong policy in that once you expropriate properties of people without compensation, that will not have value.”“People in our rural and townships don’t have access to electricity and in some areas, there are no tar roads.”
