“I believe communities change when residents are not merely heard, but become active participants in the solution. My involvement in neighbourhood safety, clean-up actions, and community projects showed me what cooperation can achieve. Kgetlengrivier’s service delivery must be managed closer to Koster, Swartruggens, Derby and surrounding areas, with clear responsibility and feedback on water, sewage, electricity, refuse and complaints. The development plan and performance plan must become a public contract with residents. I want to help build a safer, cleaner municipality where progress is visible and participation becomes meaningful.”
