  • Chris Pappas is the Premier candidate on the DA’s list for KZN next year. Doing an already excellent job in the uMngeni local municipality, could premiership soon be a reality for Mr Pappas? Gareth and Phumi do a deep dive with Chris on the current state of government, his vision for KZN, and how people can change their futures by voting.

    Love this guy! Wish all our politicians were as transparent, eloquent & self-aware & of course uncorruptible as he is. What a great SA we would live in.

    I've been following Mr Pappas for a while now.
    What a dynamic human being!!!
    He is such a breath of fresh air in KZN.
    Good luck next year

    I love this man's raw honesty, he is a people person not a liar and two faced like the other political party leaders. Go DA go Chris

    How I wish he could win Bafethu. If I was voting in KZN he was guaranteed a vote in me. Not only is he fully intergrated to the people, he's also had the KZN people's interest at heart! The real Son of The Soil.

    Listened to his speech in KZN was blown away, he has changed my mind about voting for the DA, so tired of opposition's running down at other parties, his was very positive

      @vonniecronje3914 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Sadly he will still have to take instructions from his party. So that is where your focus should be. We need an urgent system change. The present one is NOT serving our people. The hunger poverty and suffering in our country is unacceptable. 🙏

    The Springboks have shown us that we are much stronger as a nation when we work together!
    Having recently watched the ARTE tv Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas ( fluent in isiZulu) of uMngeni Municipality on TH-cam, the DA is by far the best and most experienced choice to take SA forward in 2024!!

    Good point papa's. Reviving small towns its like taking services to the people, especially jobs, as you say, to releave big towns and reduce mekhukhu. People will have proper houses in their own towns. Excellent!! Vote DA. Remember, this is not AWW party.

    Love this concept to concentrate and uplift smaller towns. This offers people employment and a social development. It’s total balance.
    This also encourages money back into towns in the form of visitation and tourism.

    I left his message at the end could have been a bit more personal and compassionate, with some story telling. There's nothing wrong with what he said, it was spot on but just from a communicator point of view, I think it could have been delivered better.
    But He's an amazing young man, really enjoyed listening to him. Seems very genuine and honest and I pray he wins because we need more people like him in government.

      Having recently watched the ARTE tv Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas ( fluent in isiZulu) of uMngeni Municipality on TH-cam, as well as Mac G's Podcast with John Steenhuisen ( also on TH-cam ,the DA is by far the best and most experienced choice to take SA forward in 2024!!

    Gareth I don’t think your comment on how political and journalist actors change their stance depending on who they are talking to .
    It has been very obvious how the presence of a political successful actor like Chris has changed your team’s attitude towards his party the DA. Take note of Chris’s answers regarding being the answer to all citizens .
