ACM leader eyes the Presidency
AS POLITICAL parties contesting the coming elections gear up for the polls next month, some are setting their eyes on the Union Buildings.
Hlaudi Motsoeneng, the African Content Movement (ACM) leader, said he was the only candidate who could change and transform South Africa for the better.
Speaking to The Star yesterday, Motsoeneng said all the other political leaders had failed to bring muchneeded reforms to the country.
“The current crop of leaders don’t have innovative ideas to grow the economy or improve service (delivery). Our infrastructure has collapsed due to failed maintenance, while my track record at the SABC speaks for itself.
“There are no leaders in this country. They were all tried and tested, and the results were there for everyone to see. This country is on the brink of collapse,” he said.
As president of the country, Motsoeneng said he would only need three years to fix all the problems the country was facing and if he failed, he would gladly step down.
He used an example of one of his party councillors who was recalled.
“The councillors representing our movement in Maluti-A-Phofung Local Municipality know that if they don’t perform, I will recall them.
“All functions will be carried out around the clock. There won’t be time to sleep. Improving the economy of this country needs hard-working men and women.”
Motsoeneng’s party would only be contesting the Free State this election year.
He said he was also vying for the premiership in the province should he not make it to the Union Buildings.
Motsoeneng pledged that all government employees would be well paid when he was president.
“An unhappy employee will sabotage progress on something that is happening in government,” he explained.
