And I mean, I'm literally at the point where I'm saying if you are not wanting to rebuild the municipality, then you're quite literally a saboteur.
Because why would you not want to have the city work? Whichever section of society you are coming from, you know, you would want the municipality to work.
So and I think it's also important to also note that both of these organizations, both the NMB civil society coalition and the chamber are a political coalition.
And in saying that, you've also been sharing a political voter educational material among your constituents.
That is essentially to provide insight on what the roles of the councillors and the municipalities, etc., are to inform and educate people.
Why is it important that people understand this, particularly as we go ahead towards the polls on the 4th of November? Yeah.
It is very important that people understand the role of counsellors and also not just the role of counsellors.
People must understand the role of the ward counsellor or the difference between a ward counsellor.
Because most of the people that get to be appointed into the mayoral committees are actually people from the PR counsellors, although other parties will take from the award counsellors.
But secondly, people... must be educated to understand the value of their vote.
People must be educated to understand that as we ask for our rights, we must also know that we've got responsibilities.
And one of our responsibilities, our civic duty to vote, to make sure that the people that get elected, they've got a mandate from the communities and the residents that they represent.
NGOs have been driving the awareness program on the basis of being non-political or apolitical, but basically promoting and encouraging people to vote because the biggest voters are actually the people who are not voting.
