I am incredibly humbled, honoured and motivated to have been selected by the DA as its mayoral candidate for the 2026 Local Government Elections in uMngeni.

Five years ago, we inherited a municipality that was on the brink of collapse, financially strained, with failing services and enormous challenges.

Together, we have turned that around.

The progress we see today is the result of the hard work and dedication of our councillors, municipal officials, community members, businesses and partners. It is proof of what is possible when people work together with a shared vision.

We can be proud of how far we have come. We have become a beacon of hope.

But our work is far from finished.

I am asking for your support for a second term so that we can continue building on the strong foundation we have laid, protect the gains we have made, and take uMngeni even further.

Let’s protect the gains.
Let’s keep making progress.

🗳️ Vote DA on 4 November 2026.

Join author, journalist and printmaker Kevin Davie at The Cape Town Club this Friday for a storytelling dinner exploring Portuguese scribe João dos Santos' extraordinary account of his travels through Southern Africa 🌍

Date: Friday, 3 October 2025
Time: 18h30 for 19h00
Menu: Two-course meal (drinks not included)
Venue: The Cape Town Club (18 Queen Victoria Street, Cape Town)
Tickets: Guests R300 | Members R250

From 1580, Dos Santos spent more than a decade in modern-day Mozambique, which included travelling up the Zambezi River to Tete and to the goldfields of Zimbabwe, where he saw so much gold being mined that he thought he'd discovered the biblical King Solomon's Mines!

Remarkably, Dos Santos's account, recorded in southern Africa 70 years before the arrival of Van Riebeeck, has all but vanished from the public record. His story, documenting the interface of two great empires, Portugal and Monomotapa, is all but unknown today.
