and municipal roads.

It will be spearheade­d by South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL), which is expected to work with provincial and municipal officials.

Keynote speakers at the project launch include Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula and SANRAL representa­tives.

Speaking to the Sunday Tribune yesterday, Saturday, the movement’s Secretary General, Bishop Mishark Tebe said the electorate was desperate for good leadership.

“We consulted extensivel­y first to see what people on the ground wanted.” He said through their findings, they realised that people wanted morals, employment and land.

“People wanted a movement that they can be proud of. In other words, how can we do things that will take us back to 1994? We will remember that during the 1994, elections, everyone was excited and ready to vote, that is what people are looking for and also a leader of high calibre,”

Motorists in the Mangaung Metro Municipali­ty, in Bloemfonte­in, continue to complain about the poor state of roads.

This is as the Free State Department of Roads and Transport is expected to officially launch a programme to patch potholes across the province this week.

Some motorists have pleaded with the municipali­ty and relevant structures to improve the worsening situation, as he said. Tebe said the party would be prioritisi­ng stability. “Looking at South Africa right now it seems as though it is a country without a leader with the current crime and economy issues. We are looking at all those aspects. People want to be led by a person who shows good morals and who lead by example,” he said.

Tebe added that the appointed president would further discuss the movement’s policies in due course.

“Our movement is purely based on anyone who delivers, irrespecti­ve of race, tradition or religion,” said Tebe. Attempts to get a comment from Mogoeng Mogoeng were unsuccessf­ul. most roads are dangerous to drive.

“If they could just fix the potholes for the cars, tyres are expensive,” says a motorist. The motorist also pleaded with government to assist.

“We are having serious problems. Even now, I had a tyre burst with my car now. But can our government please help us with the roads. You can see that the pothole here is not even a pothole,it’s a hole,” added the motorist.
