JOHANNESBURG - The son of former Bophuthatshwana leader, Lucas Mangope, said that the North West province had deteriorated to alarming levels.
Kwena Mangope is running as the premier candidate for ActionSA in the North West.
Earlier on Wednesday, Kwena cast his vote at the Marekwa Primary School in his hometown of Mahikeng.
Both directions leading to and from the Marekwa Primary School have more potholes than actual roads.
The school, which is a voting station on Wednesday, has no running water.
It is daily realities that make the people of Mahikeng yearn for the days of the Bantustan government of Lucas Mangope.
His son, Kwena, said that the now-defunct Mahikeng airport and Bop Studios served as examples of how the democratic government had failed to advance the progress of the Bophuthatswana government.
"These are things I am prepared to revive and to have them work for what they are built for and I think that’s what really our people need because that will provide jobs and other good things and tourism for that matter in the province.”
The United Christian Democratic Party, a political organisation founded by the late Mangope, did not make it to this year’s ballot.
