'I will vote for BLF in Western Cape because I don't like white people,' says Madiba's great-grandson SAElections2019
In a telephone interview from Cape Town, Mayibuye, 26 - who voted in Madiba's birthplace of Mvezo, 60km from Mthatha in the Eastern Cape, in 2014 - said he decided to vote in the Western Cape this time because he was not happy with the “political” incarceration of AbaThembu king Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo.
"Azenathi should have said if the king is not released before the elections, the whole region of AbaThembu should not vote. He had a right to tell them, we don’t go to voting stations in Mthatha - and in Thembuland in particular - but he did not say that,” said Mayibuye. President Cyril Ramaphosa has recently received a recommendation from justice minister Michael Masutha to pardon the jailed the AbaThembu king. Some Eastern Cape monarchs had threatened that they would not vote for the ANC if he was not released and would also mobilise their subjects to do the same.
“But due to accessing information, I’ve started voting for another party provincially and ANC nationally. I will vote [for] Andile Mngxitama [the leader of the BLF] provincially and the ANC nationally. I like Mngixitama’s ideology because I am a black consciousness man. I don’t like white people. Everything that he says, I agree with him, because it should be black first, land first.”
