Sy is jare lank by \u2019n skoonmaakprojek betrokke en het op die ouetehuis se raad gedien. Engela ondersteun ook die Ottosdal-landbouskou en help met die verspreiding van kos en klere aan behoeftige Afrikaners. Sy was voorheen by AfriForum betrokke en verstaan inwoners se alledaagse uitdagings. Engela stel haar as VF Plus-kandidaat beskikbaar omdat sy mense met munisipale dienste en ander klagtes wil help. Haar gemeenskapsdiens weerspie\u00ebl deernis, betroubaarheid, praktiese betrokkenheid en volgehoue omgee vir Ottosdal.<\/p>","testimonial_quote":"<p>\u201c\u2019n Raadslid moet bereikbaar wees, mense se probleme ernstig opneem en gereeld terugvoer gee. N\u00e1 32 jaar in Ottosdal weet ek hoe swak munisipale dienste bejaardes, behoeftige gesinne, ondernemings en gewone inwoners raak. Ons benodig \u2019n klagtestelsel met verwysingsnommers, verantwoordelike amptenare en duidelike reaksietye. Water, elektrisiteit, vullis, paaie en skoon openbare ruimtes moet eerste aandag kry. My werk by die ouetehuis, landbouskou, skoonmaakprojekte en hulp aan behoeftiges het my geleer om prakties te dien. Ek wil luister, probleme konsekwent opvolg en help om Ottosdal se waardigheid en gemeenskapsvertroue te herstel.\u201d<\/p>","ward":"1,
