Overview
- RISE Mzansi and the GOOD party publicly nominated Sarah Mabotsa as their joint mayoral candidate in a launch held in Montana, Pretoria.
- The two parties are contesting the 2026 local elections under a strategic cooperation framework that keeps their separate party identities while coordinating campaigns.
- Mabotsa, who serves as Tshwane’s MMC for Economic Development and Spatial Planning, has been given day‑to‑day leadership of the coalition’s bid for the metro.
- Party leaders framed the campaign around ethics and protecting the public purse and said the platform will push inclusive service delivery for all residents.
- Tshwane is a high‑profile target for the partners because it is the administrative capital, and their joint slate aims to scale influence and affect coalition math in the run‑up to the 4 November 2026 municipal vote.
