With the 2026 Local Government Elections results gradually taking shape, the South African Communist Party (SACP) in Metsimaholo is hoping to make a political comeback.
The party’s General Secretary, Solly Mapaila, visited Metsimaholo Local Municipality on Election Day, accompanied by Central Committee Member Molly Dhlamini, Provincial Executive Member Phillip Kganyago and other district leadership. During his visit, Mapaila interacted with the SACP Red Brigades, thanking them for their selfless service to the party and working-class communities.
He urged them to strengthen and maintain their relationship with communities and continue serving the people beyond 4 November 2026. Mapaila also highlighted the historical significance of Metsimaholo in the party’s electoral participation in 2017, saying this was among the reasons he had to visit the municipality during the 2026 Local Government Elections.
