Council candidate tells Australians to ‘Vote for the black guy!’

Nkweto Nkamba’s blunt campaign for local council elections in Australia sparks race discussion.

Council candidate Nkweto Nkamba’s election campaign slogan “Vote for the black guy!” is generating a variety of responses about race in an Adelaide community in Australia. Nkamba says his slogan is meant to be “humourous and funny” and a “clever way to stand out”. An accountant by profession, he moved to Australia from Zambia in 2005 and is running for the first time.
