JOHANNESBURG - Zapu South Africa province officials joined their liberation war allies, the African National Congress, in door-to-door campaigning for Wednesdays municipal elections. Zapu officials and party president Dumiso Dabengwa were also been invited to grace President Jacob Zumas Siyanqoba rally to close the campaign on Sunday.
Siyanqoba rallies are the equivalent of Zanu (PF)s star rallies, which used to be popular in the 80s and early 90s. According to Gidliza Mwelase, a Zapu Gauteng official, Zapu members assisted the ANC in its campaign and putting up posters in the townships.
Last week the Zapu leaders attended the 25th Anniversary of 19 ANC cadres who were shot and killed by apartheid police in what has become known as Alex Six Days War of 1986.
We want the ANC to win this election, Mwelase told Radio Vop. Dabengwa and his delegation were given a standing ovation by ANC leaders, supporters and former members of the partys armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK).
