Your Mafube First Ward 7 Candidate
Tumelo DoctorDhlamini
Open wardWhy I am standing
- What made me decide?
- I first heard about Mafube First around 2020 at a community meeting. After that a structure was created and I was selected to be a deputy chairperson for ward 7 executive group, and I have been a member since then. I was appointed as ward candidate in August 2026.
- Why Mafube First?
- I decided to join Mafube First because it was a mixed-race party that works with the community, for the community and cares about everyone. The reason I believe in Mafube First is that it has shown potential in helping the community. They helped the community of Cornelia with an ATM machine and they installed free WIFI for learners who are struggling with internet access for school work in the community of Frankfort.
- What if you stopped voting?
- As community, we are looking for change and better results and I believe that Mafube First can bring about that change because they have already stayed true to their words.
What I will do for this ward
- Priority 1. Priority 1
- Bad roads everywhere in Frankfort has been a problem for many years. It affects everyone, it does not matter if you have a car or not. Bad roads make it hard for people to walk around after bad weather and for public transport and first responders to reach other places. Roads will need to be graded. Pavement roads have to be made and drainage installed where there is water flow.
- Priority 2. Water and sewage are also a big problem in our community
- Lack of water makes it hard for everyone to do everyday responsibility, it also leads to blocked sewage which cause bad smell that leads to sickness. Busted pipes have to be checked and fixed. After that the valves have to be opened to increase the water pressure so that everyone can have working taps and toilets.
- Priority 3. Street lights are needed
- There is a high crime rate in the community and lack of lighting causes an increase in the crime rate because thieves take advantage of the darkness. This affects people who have to go to work early in the morning and also people who come home late including students. High mast lights will need to be installed in areas that have both lack of light and high crime rate.
What makes me different
- Already fixed
- I have tried to help people who live in informal settlement to get permanent housing as part of the Namahadi concerned residents.
- Will refuse
- As a Councillor I will not allow or take any form of bribery.
- After one year
- After a year voters can expect changes in the matter of bad roads.
- Asked most
- The question most people ask is what makes Mafube First different from other parties? The answer to that is that Mafube First works with the community for the community and it has shown interest in wanting to help the community.
