“We will be surprising people throughout the country, I can assure you. We will be announcing mayoral candidates. Some of them will not be members of the PAC before the announcement. When we make the announcement, they will be members of the PAC. Once we put them on the ballot, they will be members of the PAC. But wait for the surprise,” says PAC President, Mzwanele Nyhontso.
