Democratic Alliance Federal leader John Steenhuisen has announced uMngeni mayor Christopher ‘Chris’ Pappas as the party’s premier candidate in KwaZulu-Natal for the 2024 general elections.
Steenhuisen made the announcement at the Durban City Hall on Monday, 25 September.
During the briefing, Steenhuisen said Pappas is a dynamic young leader who walks the walk and has made the uMngeni municipality a shining beacon on the hill while the rest of KZN lies in ruin.
Steenhuisen said time has come to kick the ANC out of KZN and that Chris Pappas was the man to lead that mission and provide hope where the ANC has only provided misery, hunger, maladministration, and poverty.
“The beacon of light on the hill in uMngeni could be the light that leads to change throughout the entire province,” he said.
