Lukhona Mnguni entra na disputa pela prefeitura de Joanesburgo pelo Rise Mzansi

O ex-analista Lukhona Mnguni entrou na corrida pela prefeitura de Joanesburgo com o Rise Mzansi. Seu anúncio oficial está marcado para 23 de maio de 2026. Ele alerta para os riscos que a corrupção representa às instituições sul-africanas.

Lukhona Mnguni, de 36 anos, está entrando na disputa pela prefeitura de Joanesburgo sob a bandeira do Rise Mzansi. O ex-comentarista político e ativista conversou com o Daily Maverick antes do lançamento formal agendado para sábado.

Mnguni descreveu sua trajetória na política estudantil na Universidade de KwaZulu-Natal e seu trabalho posterior no think-tank Rivonia Circle. Ele afirmou que sua decisão decorre de um ativismo de longa data e da preocupação com o enfraquecimento das instituições estatais.

Ele alertou que, sem grandes mudanças, a África do Sul pode se tornar um estado controlado por sindicatos criminosos. Outros candidatos na disputa incluem Hellen Zille, da Aliança Democrática, e Herman Mashaba, da ActionSA.

Mnguni delineou prioridades como a limpeza da cidade, uma melhor gestão de energia e água, e a manutenção da infraestrutura dentro do primeiro ano, caso seja eleito.
