The starting point for any honest political party must be accountability, transparency and a willingness to directly engage with the public they serve. A party that can’t handle criticism and engage in debate should never be trusted.

Let’s discover if our candidate politicians want to keep us informed. We have to hope that they have a plan rather than finger-pointing that expects to gain votes motivated by hatred instead of reason.

All candidates will be posted here as they become available. I will also post their plan for Knysna as well as media-related news.
