Xolani Khumalo pledges to eradicate drugs in Ekurhuleni

ActionSA Ekurhuleni mayoral candidate Xolani Khumalo has pledged to eradicate drugs from the streets. He says he will shut down drug dens, dismantle supply networks and reclaim communities from drug dealers.

Khumalo was speaking at the party’s final election campaign rally in Hillbrow, Johannesburg, where he outlined five pledges should he be elected mayor.

Khumalo says he will bring reforms including the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department, restoring service delivery, fighting corruption and cadre deployment, and improving safety across communities.

Khumalo told supporters that he entered politics to fight crime.

“I didn’t come to politics to make friends; I came to politics to fight criminals. I have walked into the drug dens in the city of Ekurhuleni. I have looked the drug dealers in the eyes while law enforcement looked away. I know what a broken city or a broken Ekurhuleni looks like.”

“Ekurhuleni is a crime scene, and as a crime fighter, I am ready to fix it and restore the rule of law!”

Those were the words of our ActionSA Ekurhuleni Mayoral Candidate, Cllr Xolani Khumalo, as he signed his 2026 Election Pledge.
