At Bhoshongweni Arts Centre, Umthwalume, Ugu District
17 October 2026
NOTHING ELSE BUT SERVICE DELIVERY!
The National Freedom Party (NFP) today marked an important milestone in its preparations for the 2026 Local Government Elections, with the official launch of its Ugu District Election Manifesto and Volunteers Campaign, led by the NFP KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Chairperson, Hon. Cynthia Mbali Shinga, MPL.
The launch brought together party leadership, members, volunteers and communities to reaffirm the NFP’s commitment to building accountable, responsive and service-oriented local government.
Delivering the keynote address, Hon. Shinga outlined the NFP’s vision for municipalities that place the needs of communities at the centre of governance, with particular emphasis on reliable water provision, rural road infrastructure, sanitation, youth development, local economic growth, support for emerging farmers, and the empowerment of women.
The NFP maintains that service delivery is not a political favour, but a constitutional responsibility that must be fulfilled with integrity, transparency and accountability.
The manifesto further emphasises the importance of sound municipal financial management, consequence management, cooperative governance and strengthening public participation in municipal decision-making.
A significant part of today’s programme was the launch of the NFP’s election volunteers and the presentation of candidates who will represent the party across municipalities in Ugu District.
The NFP believes that effective local government begins with capable leadership, councillors who understand their responsibilities, and representatives who remain accessible and accountable to the communities they serve.
Our commitment extends beyond election campaigns. It is about restoring public confidence in local government and ensuring that municipal resources are directed towards improving the lives of ordinary people.
The NFP extends its appreciation to the people of Ugu, party structures, volunteers, leadership and everyone who contributed to the success of today’s launch.
UGU DISTRICT — NOTHING ELSE BUT SERVICE DELIVERY!
