United Independent Movement (UIM) leader Neil de Beer officially launched his party’s poster campaign in Cape Town on Tuesday.
“In this city alone, we will be contesting all 116 wards of Cape Town metro city. There was a decision made that if I want to be the president of this country… I should participate in solving my own city’s problems first,” De Beer said.Key targets for the UIM include fighting crime by getting the community involved; throttling corruption because a municipality cannot have corrupt councillors; and regaining capital to improve the lives of the poor.
He said Cape Town is called the Mother City because “it takes nine months to make a decision to help the poor”.Coalitions, he said, will be considered, but with parties excluding the ANC and EFF. “You will not get me to sit with them. We will never ever form a coalition with them. They are the reason we are where we are today.”
