“Moretele needs leadership that listens, follows up and reports. I want every infrastructure project to have a public budget, responsible official, deadline and proof of completion. My experience as a councillor, community council secretary and chairperson of a school governing body taught me that good governance rests on participation and accountability. We must prioritise routes to schools and clinics, address dry taps and dark areas quickly and give communities regular feedback. In this way, we build trust and make municipal work improve people’s lives again in every town.”
