Former Democratic Alliance DA MP Liam Jacobs has set his sights on the Cape Town mayoral seat for the upcoming 2026 local government elections in an unexpected twist in South Africas political arena.
Now representing the Patriotic Alliance PA, Jacobs is ready to leave behind his relatively short-lived campaign in Tshwane, where his ambitions first took root.
The dynamic 24-year-old politician recently received the official endorsement from PA leader Gayton McKenzie, who publicly applauded Jacobs as the party's candidate for the Mother City.
