As boer en inwoner is sy hele lewe in Kamiesberg. Omie is \u2019n Godvresende mens en sy geloof speel \u2019n belangrike rol in sy lewe. Hy is lojaal, eerlik en behandel ander soos hy self behandel wil word.<\/p>","testimonial_quote":"<p>\u201cMy doelwitte vir die gemeenskap is om aandag te gee aan die basiese behoeftes van die dorp. Water is lewe. Daarom glo ek dat die waterprobleem die belangrikste is wat dringend aandag moet geniet. Elektrisiteit moet verbeter en reggestel word, sodat inwoners toegang tot die basiese dienste het. Ek glo verder dat eerlikheid en regverdigheid by die munisipaliteit moet begin. Ek wil graag help om positiewe verandering te bring, sodat ons dorp beter kan funksioneer en inwoners met trots hier kan woon.
