The GOOD Party announced its leader Patricia de Lille as its candidate for Western Cape Premier, expressing confidence in her abilities to ensure that the right plans are implemented swiftly and according to the law.
The party believes that De Lille is the only candidate for Premier who has executive experience in all three spheres of government, assuring voters of her tenacity in serving the public.
“De Lille, or Aunty Pat as she is fondly known, offers voters a tried and tested leader with unmatched experience that is necessary to attend to and eradicate the suffering experienced by the majority of the province’s residents,” the party said.
It said when political parties present plans and manifestos to voters, it’s important for voters to also consider who will be charged with implementing these plans.
De Lille served as a Member of Parliament and chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Transport and as MEC for Social Development in the Western Cape.
She was mayor of Cape Town, and served a full five-year term of office which received four consecutive clean audits.
In 2019, consistent with the practice of having an opposition leader serve in the national Cabinet, De Lille was appointed as Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure.
The party noted that she cleaned up a department that had been “riddled with corruption” scandals and managed to rapidly accelerate the redistribution of public land.
“When the President appointed her to sort out Tourism, as the new Minister of Tourism last year, she immediately got to work cancelling the scandalous R1-billion Tottenham Hotspurs deal,” said the GOOD Party.
The party expressed confidence in De Lille, saying there is no doubt that she has experience and the “guts” to take on any “lethargy in government” to make sure that the right plans are "swiftly and legally implemented".
