## Resource

Chris Pappas is running for re-election as mayor of uMngeni, vowing to keep the DA’s momentum alive by showcasing real results since 2021 — from paying off loans and finishing projects to slashing youth unemployment and upgrading infrastructure. He’s tackling safety with new streetlights and cameras, while admitting there’s still work to do — but he’s asking voters to judge him on what’s been accomplished, not just promises. With the DA’s slim 2021 win, Pappas is urging residents to stay the course, warning that reversing course could undo years of progress.
