– Yvonne Combrinck, Ward 8 DA candidate
My priorities:
As councillor of Ward 8, I will make use of every available resource and work closely with the Lesedi Local Municipality, to ensure that reliable services are rendered. I understand the frustration and feeling of helplessness when residents are left in the dark during water- and power outages. I will continue to give residents reliable and accurate feedback during these times, as I understand all too well that we need to prepare for continuous water- and power outages in our households as well as our businesses.
Furthermore, I aim to unite the residents in the suburbs of Ward 8 to work together with their councillor, to make our ward one to be proud of. There are many individuals, groups, and organisations in this ward that regularly roll up their sleeves with me to clean our parks and public areas, cut grass next to the Blesbokspruit (in Shalimar Ridge), pick up rubbish throughout the Ward, and even fix potholes.
Ward 8 Lesedi
