LGE 2026: Ace Magashule makes case to become Matjhabeng’s next mayor - EWN

With less than a month to go before the local government elections, former Free State Premier Ace Magashule is making a case to become the next mayor of Matjhabeng, saying his experience in government gives him the knowledge to turn around the troubled municipality.

But many of the province’s municipalities, including Mangaung, Matjhabeng and Metsimaholo, began their decline during the African National Congress (ANC)’s years in power, including Magashule’s nine-year tenure as premier.
