Deputy President David Mabuza intends to re-run for his position, SA has mixed feelings

Deputy President David Mabuza has announced his intention to run for his position at the 55th African National Congress (ANC) national elective conference in December next year.

Mabuza said he will not impose himself and that his bid for the hot seat will only take off provided he has the blessing of the party's delegates, according to SABC News.

The deputy president, who was recently on a walkabout at the Kroonstad Waste Water Treatment Works in his capacity as the chairperson of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Water and Sanitation, is currently on the campaign trail in Mamelodi, east of Tshwane.

With the important local polls fast approaching, Mabuza committed to resolving the sewage spillages at the Kroonstad plant, which has not been functioning in over a year, resulting in raw sewage spilling into the Vaal River.
