Tonight, Johannesburg’s political battlefield takes another dramatic turn. RISE Mzansi has officially
announced political analyst and public policy expert Lukhona Mnguni as its mayoral candidate for the City of Johannesburg. Known for holding politicians accountable from the outside, Mnguni now wants to step directly into the arena — promising ethical leadership, competent governance and a reset for a city battered by corruption scandals, collapsing infrastructure, water shortages, electricity failures and coalition chaos. But can an analyst successfully transition into executive leadership? And does Johannesburg still believe any politician can truly rescue South Africa’s economic hub?
