Herman Mashaba Offers Himself as Mayoral Candidate for the DA for Johannesburg 2016
10 December 2015
I have decided to announce that I am making myself available as Mayoral Candidate for the Democratic Alliance for city of Johannesburg 2016.
For too long I have watched from the side-lines at how corrupt and self-serving ANC politicians have mismanaged Johannesburg — Africa’s most vibrant economic powerhouse.
I believe that it is time that hard working and honest people make themselves available for public service. In the spirit I am prepared to throw in 100% of my effort into the bid to be the DA’s Mayoral Candidate. It is my hope that the city will once again be the beacon of light for the whole of Africa and a safe haven for its own citizens.
I am beyond concerned at the unemployment that exists in this city and believe that the DA has the policies and processes to arrest the current hopelessness created by unemployment. Unemployment is unacceptably high in the city that is the economic hub of the continent.
