Cape Town — Minister of Tourism and the leader of the GOOD Party, Patricia De Lille, will be hard at work ahead of the elections as the GOOD Party prepares to host its election manifesto in Rivonia, Johannesburg today.
The party secured two seats in the National Assembly in 2019, and, despite hoards of support from the Western cape, will be hoping to expand their political footprint, SABC News reported.
“I have been deeply encouraged by the response and the support that this message of GOOD has prompted in our country. As I said, I want good South Africans, men and women, young and experienced of races to step forward to lead our country.” De Lille said.
The party has made transparent leadership and accountability among its key principles and says it hopes to combat corruption if elected into power.
“The money is not being spent well. Corruption steals from poor people. That money we can use for the basic income grant,” says De Lille.
