Ward 88 to hold by-elections on 25 April
NORTHCLIFF – Do you know who the by-election candidates are?
After the resignation of Democratic Alliance member Nicholas Lorimer, by-elections for Ward 88 will be taking place on 25 of April.
The candidates are the DA’s David Hensman who says he has been an active member since August 2016, when he volunteered for the party and was later elected as a PR councillor within the City of Johannesburg. He has been a resident of the area for 47 years.
The qualified charted accountant who also studied his MBA at Wits Business School said he wants residents of the area to rest assured that there will be efficient service delivery.
Another candidate is Oscar Plange, who is the chairperson for the Northcliff Residents Association, said he will be representing the Northcliff Residents Assocation and the surrounding suburbs, and plans to lead Ward 88 independently while trying to stop political paralysis in local government.
