It is now official, Reverend Mvume Dandala will be COPE’s (Congress of the People) presidential candidate in the upcoming general elections in South Africa this year. This announcement was made by COPE’s president, Terror Lekota, who many had thought would be the party’s presidential candidate. Dandala said he joined Cope to stand with men and women of integrity. “I’ve spent time fighting for peace and justice, I found those values in Cope,” said Dandala.
The race is on now to find out who will be the next president of South Africa. On one side we have Jacob Zuma, on the other hand there is Helen Zille for the DA and now Dandala for COPE. What a vast range of presidential candidates to pick from. No two are the same, if anything they are all very different and will appeal to certain people and not appeal to some. We have to continue watching this space to see how this all unravels.
