ActionSA today unveiled three mayoral candidates who will lead the fight to restore capable, accountable local government in the North West. Ofentse Jerremia Kombe will contest Rustenburg Local Municipality, Egorogile Andrew Matolong will contest Greater Taung Local Municipality, and Lerato Jeanette Selebogo will contest Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipality. They represent a new generation of principled leaders committed to putting residents before politics.

For years, North West municipalities have been hollowed out by corruption, political patronage and chronic mismanagement. The result is visible everywhere and impossible to ignore. Dry taps, collapsing infrastructure, failing roads, unreliable electricity and rising unemployment that continues to rob families of hope. Residents have paid the price while those responsible have escaped accountability. ActionSA believes that era must come to an end.

Our candidates were not selected because of political connections. They earned their place through a rigorous, merit-based process that prioritised competence, integrity and a proven commitment to public service. They are ready to rebuild municipalities, restore public trust and ensure that every rand collected from residents delivers value for residents.

ActionSA's vision is simple: municipalities that deliver reliable services, spend public money responsibly, maintain infrastructure, support local businesses and create an environment where jobs can grow. Local government should unlock opportunity, not stand in its way.

The 2026 Local Government Elections are a chance to break with decades of failure. Every vote for ActionSA is a vote against corruption, incompetence and broken promises. It is a vote for clean governance, decisive leadership and municipalities that work.

The choice belongs to the people of North West. They can settle for more decline, or they can choose leaders who will put residents first, protect public money and deliver the government they deserve. ActionSA is ready to govern. Now it is time to fix North West.
