“As a professional accountant and MPAC member, I believe every municipal rand must be spent accountably, effectively and in residents’ interests. JB Marks’s recovery plan must be supported by realistic budgets, thorough financial control and regular public reporting. Contracts, appointments and projects must be transparent, with responsibility and measurable outcomes. My involvement with Round Table also taught me what communities can achieve when people combine their skills and resources. I want to help ensure that sound financial management produces visible service delivery, stronger infrastructure and restored public trust for everyone.”
