As the world observes the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, the GOOD Party remains steadfast in our call for a Basic Income Grant.
The GOOD Party is pleased to welcome two new councillors to our team in the City of Cape Town. Roscoe Palm and Wesley Neumann have been appointed to fill the two GOOD vacancies in Council.
The GOOD party joins GBVF and Womens’ Rights activists who are demanding “no stage for abusers”. We are concerned about the message Chris Brown’s December concert is sending to the men and women of our country.
The GOOD Party calls on the City of Cape Town to immediately comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act at the City’s Water and Sanitation treatment plants and pump stations. Good has received crucial information alerting us to serious violations at the facilities resulting in unsafe working conditions and potential harm to the environment.
GOOD does not deny the crucial need to secure our water supply. But we are deeply concerned as to why the city is continuing down the desalination path when it has been proven that the financial and environmental costs are too high.
The GOOD Party welcomes the Judicial Services Commission’s recommendation of Appeal Court judge Nolwazi Mabindla-Boqwana for the post of Western Cape Judge President.
The GOOD Party extends its congratulations to the new members of the Tshwane Mayoral Committee. As GOOD we are proud to have our councillor Sarah Mabotsa included in the team to move Tshwane forward. We pledge to ensure a spatially just and economically inclusive Tshwane.
The GOOD party extends our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Tito Mboweni, as well as his political home the African National Congress. The country has lost a great inspirational leader.
A GOOD place for the GNU to show where its priorities lie would be to respond to the clear need expressed by the 17 million SRD Grant applicants and introduce a Basic Income Grant of at least R1,000 a month so that all South Africans can meet their basic needs to eat.
The GOOD party calls on government to create meaningful, long-term change for the homeless population. How a government treats its most vulnerable is a direct reflection of its humanity. We need urgent, comprehensive action to address the systemic issues facing those living on the streets or in shelters. Today, the 10th of October marks World Homeless Day.
