Lekota appeals for reconciliation and urges voters to vote wisely.
The May 8 general election will bring a shift in the way people vote, Congress of the People leader Mosiuoa Lekota said on Sunday.
Addressing congregants, Lekota appealed for reconciliation, peace, and love. He called on the congregation to vote on May 8, and asked that they vote “wisely”, without directly appealing to them to vote Cope. Lekota noted that citizens were not compelled to vote for any particular party or the party they had voted for previously.
Lekota, former Gauteng premier Mbazima Shillowa, and former deputy defence minister Mluleleki George left the African National Congress to established Cope in 2008. Lekota was defence minister at the time.
