Xolani Khumalo’s job creation initiative
On Monday, October 6, 2025, during his segment on Power FM, Khumalo confidently articulated his strategies for fostering job opportunities for South African citizens. This announcement followed his designation as the Action SA’s candidate for mayor in Ekurhuleni.
While discussing his plans on the radio, Khumalo emphasized his commitment to counteracting corruption and ensuring that pivotal roles like security personnel, construction workers, and custodial staff are retained within the organization rather than being outsourced.
However, his election as a candidate has evoked mixed reactions, with some questioning his qualifications and experience in political and legislative matters.
As reported by EWN, Khumalo addressed those concerns, sharing that he has a deep understanding of Ekurhuleni’s needs due to his lived experience in the area.
“South Africa is my home. Ekurhuleni is my home, and the love I have for this place is very big. I have experienced the ups and downs, the pains of growing up in this place. I understand very well why Ekurhuleni needs,” he said.

Public Response to Khumalo’s Employment Plans
Following Khumalo’s announcement of his job creation strategies, numerous netizens reacted via comments. Here are some of their opinions:
@Patricia_Bantom said:
“Eish, he must avoid the media. They are trying to dilute him. He must work in silence. It’s a trap.”
@SokisiOfficial wrote:
“Xolani and job creations, he only knows how to deal with Kasi drug dealers ko four room. Him & Herman will be exposed.”
@Ngangolwandle7 commented:
“Govt should never be about creating jobs. Instead, the government should create a conducive environment for job creation. Municipalities shouldn’t be treated as a hiring place; municipalities are there to ensure functionality. Hire a few groups of competent people. Don’t hire the whole country.”
@ZweLeth29101425 responded:
“He said nothing about creating jobs. He just spoke of the EFF policy of insourcing. Insourcing security guards, cleaners & bricklayers doesn’t create new jobs, bro. This is what happens when you take a celebrity sgora and expect it to miraculously run a R65.5 billion budget city.”
