Elections 2019 fever has risen to higher levels
TK Mashaba
Political parties from across the Waterberg are
on higher gear campaigning for the May
general elections.
Minibus loads of ANC members arrived back
from the party’s manifesto launch in
Thohoyandou last weekend, while back home
the Economic Freedom Fighters criss-crossed
the town of Bela-Bela with a motorcade of
several vehicles.
Inevitably, political turncoat, Paul Molekoa —
who left the Tripartite Alliance to join the EFF
— was central to the red beret’s campaign in
the streets of downtown Bela-Bela and the
township.
Molekoa is a former chair of the Waterberg
region of the Young Communist League.
Last week the man told The BEAT the ANC
— and by extension the Tripartite Alliance —
did not resonate with his political thinking any
longer.
The Waterbnerg ANC chair, Morris
Mataboge, said locals had joined several
thousand others in Thohoyandou to listen to
President Cyril Ramaphosa drum up his Thuma
Mina (Send Me) rallying cry.
He said going forward the ANC would hit the
ground running engaging community-based
structures, such as the ecumenical movement.
The DA’s Frans Mothokwa said scores of
party supporters were to be bussed to the main
rally in Gauteng on Saturday 23 February, to
listen to national leader Mmusi Maimane.
He said locally the party had already “painted
Bela-Bela blue” with DA posters.

secretary, Joseph Makhubela, said the party
would continue with door-to-door campaigns,
