People in Nkulumane are telling wannabe politicians to ditch the party gear and campaign noise as they gear up for a special election to replace their dead representative, Desire Moyo. The local development committee chair, Andrew Ndlovu, said voters want actual progress instead of empty promises, and they plan to make every candidate pitch their ideas before deciding. He mentioned they're already working on solar-powered water pumps and school upgrades through constituency funding, and whoever wins needs to keep that momentum going.
Nine candidates are fighting for the seat, ranging from Moyo's widow, Esther Auxillia Zitha, to comedian Mothusi Madlela running for the Tshabangu faction of CCC, plus a bunch of smaller party reps and two independents. Political watchers are saying the crowded field might actually help the ruling party, Zanu PF, because split votes usually work in their favor during these off-cycle races.
