💰 Alan Winde earns a R2.3 million salary...
...while living in a R177 million mansion and getting municipal services worth R1.7 million for free.
Cut the perks!
Many people can’t afford their water and electricity bills, while those who can afford to pay get it all for free!
🟠 READ | While farmworkers originally from Zimbabwe and Lesotho engage in deadly xenophobic violence in Robertson, near Cape Town, tens of thousands of South African farmworkers are unemployed and live in squalor on the fringes of rural towns.
🇵🇸 Alan Winde says Vladimir Putin is a war criminal - but he's said nothing about Benjamin Netanyahu.
The DA is no friend of Palestinians.
GOOD's position is clear - GOOD stands with the people of Palestine.
We will never tolerate apartheid on the shores of other nations.
PRESS RELEASE: Last night GOOD submitted shocking evidence of

voter registration fraud in George to the IEC.
The DA has been caught with its pants down manipulating the voter’s roll. It is a desperate act; the ultimate crime of political contestation. 1/4

Auditor General Kimi Makwetu confirmed that GOOD leader

PRESS RELEASE: DA leader John Steenhuisen wants people to believe that, due to his party’s brilliance, murder in the DA-led Western Cape province is down 40%.
In fact, the most recent set of national crime statistics recorded a near 11% spike in the provincial murder rate. 1/4
Public land is for public good.
No democratic government in South Africa has tackled apartheid SPATIAL LEGACY. We believe that achieving SPATIAL JUSTICE is essential to creating a more EQUITABLE South Africa.

🧑💼 The DA's march against race quotas shows its true colours as a white elitist party.
The EEAA is not perfect, but we must start addressing glaring inequalities in workspaces.
Steenhuisen is a clear opponent to change.

#GOODmyHOOD
The DA's blah blah is getting it into ka ka. The IEC today ordered the party to publicly apologise to
#GOOD
leader Patricia de Lille for spreading lies about her. The DA doesn't learn. Its addiction to blue lies has already seen it lose three court cases on trumped up charges..
We welcome the appointment of Shamila Batohi as new National Prosecuting Authority head. We trust she will uphold truth and honour and take action on corruption in government and our private sector. Let us put Good people first for the Good of our Country.
💡 Cape Town's marked-up electricity prices make Eskom look very cheap.
The DA-led municipality pays Eskom R1.74, but charges hard-pressed consumers R3.09.
That's a R1.35 profit per unit.
No need for this extortion by a municipality with Billions in the bank.

GOOD will implement a land audit in each city and province to identify large public and private land holdings, including those of SOE’s. Cities must have more say in how vacant land is used.
