ADeC leader in eThekwini, Visvin Reddy, said his return to the political arena was because politicians ’have simply failed its people’.
Durban - Leader of the African Democratic Change and mayoral candidate for the eThekwini Municipality, Visvin Reddy said on Wednesday that if the party won the coming local government elections in November, it would bring jobs, safer communities and an efficient utility billing system to Durban residents.
Reddy was speaking at ADeC’s manifesto launch in Durban. He said the political landscape of South Africa needed change, where politicians were replaced with activists. He said his return to the political arena was because politicians “have simply failed its people”, referencing the meagre monthly grant given to pensioners and the failure of the current water and electricity billing system in eThekwini.
The former DA member, who was elected as the national leader of ADeC just over two years ago, said he was encouraged by the level of support the party had been getting. “We are not a racial political movement. We are a political party that seeks change for everybody. And the past few episodes that we experienced has taught us that the people we elect must be of sound mind.
