Kouga DA Ward 2

Today, Ward 2 Councillor Bonita Moos had the privilege of delivering the motivational address and vote of thanks at the Eastern Cape Provincial Health Clinic Committee engagement.

Her message reminded every clinic committee member that being a public representative is about far more than attending meetings—it's about being a voice for those who often feel unheard, standing with communities in their greatest times of need, and restoring hope in our healthcare system through compassion, integrity, and service.

Cllr Moos spoke with passion and sincerity, encouraging everyone present to lead with purpose, to listen with empathy, and to never lose sight of the people they serve. Her inspiring words were a powerful reminder that positive change begins with dedicated individuals who choose to make a difference every single day.

Thank you to the Eastern Cape Department of Health for creating this important platform, and to every clinic committee member for your commitment to building healthier, stronger communities. Together, we can continue to bring hope where it is needed most. 💙

Residents please make use of the numbers provided for flood assistance.🌧

Today was more than just restoring electricity — it was restoring dignity, hope, and faith.
After 10 long years without electricity, the lights are finally back on for Mr De Klerk and his family. This has been a journey I have walked with them since the by-election, and today we saw that promises made with sincerity can become promises kept.
The tears of joy, the gratitude, and the emotion in that home today said more than words ever could.
For me, leadership is not about politics or empty talk — it is about showing up, listening to people’s struggles, and working to improve lives. I know the daily challenges many families in Ward 2 face, and I remain committed to being present and helping wherever I can.
Today belongs to the De Klerk family. May their home be filled with light, peace, and new beginnings.
This is why we serve. This is why we care. This is why we keep working.
Ward 2 first. Always. 💙

Today I conducted an oversight visit in Tuna Street together with Cllr J. Alexander, MMC for Electrical and Mechanical Services, following reports of damaged electrical cables in the area.
During the visit, cables that had been exposed on the surface were inspected and the necessary repairs were attended to. Ensuring that our electrical infrastructure is safe and properly maintained remains a priority for the safety of our residents.
It is always encouraging when residents acknowledge and appreciate service delivery. Moments like these remind us why oversight and working together with the relevant departments are so important.
Thank you to MMC Alexander and the Electrical team for responding and assisting.
Together we continue working to keep Ward 2 safe and functional.
