Sy is die trotse moeder van \u2019n volwasse dogter en dien op die kerkraad van die Hervormde Kerk in Ottosdal. Maria was ook by AfriForum se plaaslike tak betrokke. In haar werk by Novon Protecta bedien sy die boeregemeenskap en verstaan sy die belang van landbou vir Tswaing se ekonomie. Sy neem aktief aan skoonmaakprojekte deel en dra die gemeenskap se welstand op die hart. Maria wil Ottosdal help ophef, leefbaarder maak en nuwe plaaslike ekonomiese vooruitgang bevorder.<\/p>","testimonial_quote":"<p>\u201cOttosdal en die bre\u00ebr Tswaing-gemeenskap kan weer skoon, leefbaar en ekonomies aktief wees wanneer inwoners, boere, ondernemings en die munisipaliteit verantwoordelik saamwerk. Ons moet water, elektrisiteit, paaie, vullisverwydering en openbare ruimtes volgens duidelike prioriteite herstel. Klagtes moet aangeteken, opgevolg en met eerlike terugvoer afgehandel word. My betrokkenheid by die kerk, landbougemeenskap en skoonmaakprojekte het my geleer dat volgehoue diens \u2019n sigbare verskil maak. Ek wil \u2019n toeganklike verteenwoordiger wees wat luister, gemeenskapsvennootskappe versterk en praktiese projekte ondersteun wat Ottosdal se waardigheid en plaaslike ekonomie help herstel,
