MEDIA STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: 14 AUGUST 2026

MARIUS FRANSMAN IS ABOUT TO MAKE A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT.

This is bigger than a political meeting. This is the beginning of a people’s movement built to change who holds power and who that power actually serves.

On Saturday, 15 August 2026, at Hoofweg Primary School, Cape Town, we are calling together leaders, activists, NGOs, community and faith-based organisations, entrepreneurs, small businesses, creatives, sportspeople, and ordinary Capetonians who are done watching their communities struggle while decisions get made without them in the room.

Cape Town does not belong to politicians. It belongs to its people.

The poor. The working class. Entrepreneurs. Young people. Forgotten communities. We refuse to remain spectators in the city we call home.

PMC is organising ward by ward, street by street, and community by community, and Saturday is where it comes alive.

The message is simple:

If you want change, PLUG IN.
If you want your community heard, PLUG IN.
If you are ready to take your power back, PLUG IN.

Registration opens at 09h00. The program starts at 10:00. Cape Town shows up. The story starts here.

The road to 4 November 2026 runs through our communities, and it runs through Hoofweg Primary School this Saturday.

Media are invited to attend, cover, and speak to organisers and community leaders on the ground.
