While Godole does not hold a specific role within the Umkhonto Wesizwe Party, he has dedicated himself to mobilizing taxi drivers to vote for the party. He believes that the party has the best interests of taxi drivers at heart and will work towards regulating the industry and securing their rights. His mobilization efforts include visiting taxi ranks across various regions, from Esikhaleni to Nkandla, encouraging drivers to vote for Umkhonto Wesizwe Party on May 29th.
Dispelling rumors that the party is only for the Zulu Nation, Godole highlighted the diverse support he has received from taxi drivers of different backgrounds. He stressed that Umkhonto Wesizwe Party is inclusive and addresses the concerns of various groups, including security guards, unemployed graduates, local truck drivers, and domestic workers.
Godole’s advocacy extends beyond taxi drivers, as he serves as a voice for marginalized groups who feel unheard and neglected. He believes that Umkhonto Wesizwe Party offers solutions to their challenges and encourages everyone to join the movement and vote for change.
As Godole continues his journey to mobilize voters and amplify the voices of the marginalized, his dedication and passion serve as a beacon of hope for a better future for all.
