‘A person of the province’: Pappas says he’s ready to lead KZN

JOHANNESBURG – Democratic Alliance (DA) premier candidate in KwaZulu-Natal, Chris Pappas, believes he stands a chance to grab the province’s top office from the ANC.

KZN is among the provinces that polls have predicted the governing party is likely to lose after Wednesday’s election.

Speaking during the DA’s final election rally at the Willowmoore Stadium in Benoni on Sunday, Pappas said the province was in desperate need of new leaders.

"We need vigour, we need something that is energetic, something that can hit the ground running. We can't continue the same way that we are. And also, I’m a person of this province. I grew up in the rural areas, I went to school in the areas, and I served the people for many years. I bring with me a political party that has a plan tried and tested in government."
