During his acceptance speech for the nomination, Khumalo said the time had come to return Ekurhuleni to its former glory.
“I’m privileged to stand before you today as I’m surrounded by patriots who love this country. I’m honoured to take up this fight on behalf of ActionSA.”
Khumalo, loved by many for his crime-fighting activism, was arrested after an alleged drug dealer died in July 2023 after being visited by Khumalo and his team.
However, the charges against the former TV star were withdrawn in April this year.
