Skeem GP’s Candidacy Under Fire | Johannesburg News

Skeem GP, Themba Nzimande, is under fire for his qualifications to lead Ekurhuleni after a shaky TV interview exposed his lack of clear plans for fixing the city’s deep governance and service delivery crises. Despite public skepticism and his party’s defense, he insists he’s part of Afrika Mayibuye’s collective leadership, learning from Floyd Shivambu and the politburo. Admitting he’s not a politician and relies on others for fiscal expertise, he paints Ekurhuleni as a corrupt, leaky system where bribes are expected — and revenue collection is crippled by theft. He frames his candidacy as a “calling,” drawing parallels to his successful broadcasting career and citing community work on drugs and gender-based violence as proof of his grassroots understanding. As the election nears, voters demand leaders who can deliver real solutions — not just soundbites. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
