“I will be first to clear this up. I am not MaMlambo but a proud NFP member. This is the party that was led by a leader without a single corruption mark against her. A true definition of a leader” she said.

The actress has assured the people in the Zululand municipality that they will fight for the basic services that the community has been denied for the passed five years.

“We are going to vote and vote for the NFP. We get everything that belongs to us. For the past five years the Zululand district municipality has failed to deliver basic services. Our time has come to take over where we left when we lost power” she said.

She continued to share all the amazing roles that her mother played in her and her siblings lives, expressing how grateful she is to have experienced a love so strong.
