BDLive reports that the United Front (UF) believes it can win 10 of the 43 wards it is contesting in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, which may position it as a kingmaker in the Eastern Cape.
This is according to National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) general secretary Irvin Jim, who has been campaigning for the UF in the metro since Saturday. The UF was set up in 2015 by Numsa as a "social movement" meant to unite workers and communities ahead of the formation of a political party by the union. Jim said initially Numsa did not want the UF to contest this election, but its members on the ground had decided that they would prefer to "test the waters". Numsa will announce the details of its central committee’s decision about the planned political party at a media briefing next week.
