I think he\u2019s an activist who had cameras follow him around, and as a result of that activism, he has become famous and celebrated. But to just reduce him to celebrity, I think, is disingenuous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The former Metro FM host went on to commend ActionSA for what he called a \u201cmaster stroke,\u201d praising the party for choosing someone who embodies service and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomeone passionate about serving people and keeping people safe. And if ever there was a mayoral candidate or a person who was perfect for that, it\u2019s him,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">DJ Fresh:<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think Xolani is a celebrity.
