The GOOD Party is proud to announce Hajiera Arnolds as our candidate for the upcoming by-election in Ward 16, Cloetesville, Stellenbosch, scheduled for 29 April 2026.
Arnolds, a lifelong resident of Cloetesville, is a deeply respected community leader who has dedicated over a decade to the upliftment of Stellenbosch and its surrounding areas. As the founder of the NPO “Stellies Angels”, established in 2014, she has been at the forefront of providing essential support to schools, crèches, disability groups, and the Youth Outreach Centre.
Her commitment to social justice and community care is evidenced by her tireless work in monthly charity drives, ranging from food and clothing distributions to sanitary and baby projects. Her leadership has earned her significant recognition, including being nominated as one of the 100 Influential Women in Cape Town and being featured on Via TV for her impactful community work.
Professionally, Arnolds brings a wealth of management and administrative experience.
The GOOD Party believes that Arnolds’ deep roots in Cloetesville and her proven track record of service make her the ideal representative to fight for the dignity and fair treatment of all residents in the ward.
