MKP’s Biko promises change for Middelpos

Mzwandile Simon Biko expressed his eagerness to serve the community of Middelpos. The MKP took more than 36% in the election held last week, with 1 197 votes, beating the ANC by 338.

The Patriotic Alliance (PA) received 654 votes. The newly formed People Movement for Change led by Marius Fransman, former ANC provincial leader, only received 12 votes.

The by-election took place as a result of the death of ANC councillor Siyabulela Liwani in December.

South African Communist Party Western Cape Provincial Secretary, Benson Neggentsu, said the ANCS loss in Saldanha Bay should be a wake-up call to the ANC leaders in the region and province.
