Mayor Lucky Godfrey Sele’s reshuffling of the Mayoral Committee in the Mogale City Local Municipality (Krugersdorp, Magaliesburg and Muldersdrift) will not resolve the ongoing water crisis plaguing the Municipality.
Large parts of Mogale have been without water since the weekend after the town’s reservoirs dropped to dangerously low levels, while supply has only been restored to some areas.
The Municipality also failed to deploy enough water tankers to meet residents’ needs.
Instead of confronting the most pressing challenges and coming up with a viable solution, Sele decided to move Peter Modise, the Mayoral Committee Member for Infrastructure Development Services, to another portfolio and replace him with Merriam Mogoje.
Mogoje made the headlines last year after she encouraged informal settlement residents of the Hekpoort and Hartebeesfontein rural areas in Gauteng to occupy land belonging to Mogale City.
At the time, while serving as the Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements, she accused white landowners of driving black people off their land.
The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) wishes to make it abundantly clear that Mogale’s water supply problems can only be resolved by a competent Mayoral Committee Member, not one employing race-driven rhetoric.
The party will closely monitor Mogoje’s performance and hold her accountable if the water crisis does not improve soon.
Residents deserve access to clean drinking water and should vote for the Freedom Front Plus on 4 November 2026 to elect an administration serious about basic service delivery.

Interview with a pirate:
There was a pirate who had agreed to do an interview with a local tv station. The reporter was very courteous and professional, giving a bit of background as to the pirate\’s business. She then began interviewing him.
\”So Mr. Longbeard, are there any risks to your business? I see you have a peg leg- how did that come about?\”
\”Well, y\’see I were sailing along the coast of South Africa, looking to plunder some locals when as I boarded the small boat from the ship, a great white shark came up and got my leg clean off. \’twas scary yes, but thus is the life of a pirate.\”
\”Wow, that is pretty scary- well, how about your hook? What happened to your hand with that?\”
\”Oh now that\’s quite the tale, y\’see I were fighting a rival pirate, and we had locked swords. We had been fighting for a few hours, and were both terribly fatigued. I had a bit of exhaustion and confusion, and when I went to block one of his sword blows, I met him with me hand instead of me sword. Took it right off, but it shocked him so much I managed to get him back pretty good and have him submit. So the hook hand was given as a replacement.\”
\”Wow. Simply fascinating. Now, what about your eye patch? How did that happen?\”
\”Well, one day, a seagull was flying overhead, and I looked up. It pooped right in me eye.\”
\”… Well wow. I must admit, I wouldn\’t think just seagull poop could damage the eye that badly.\”
\”Oh, I forgot to mention… it were me first day with the hook.\”
