Angel Londen, Congress of the People’s (COPE) local elections candidate councillor for Ward 8 recently answered the Herald’s questions regarding the upcoming elections.
1. Name:
Angel Londen, 39
2. Ward running for:
20
3. Areas that fall under the ward:
Toekomsrus
4. If you were elected, what would you focus on and why?
First and foremost I will challenge the superiors in office to bring back our municipality office because it’s difficult for our elderly people to pay rent. I will make services more possible for my people; and use the operational budget to close potholes and do other necessities in the community.
5. Why should the community vote for you?
I am a community member and a people’s person. I’m a community builder and more interested in my people and their needs. I’m someone who works well with people.
I will create more projects especially for those who are disadvantaged. I want to help build technical schools for those who are not academically inclined, and create a local hub where information can be shared for the young people.
6. Outside of your council duties, how are you involved in the community?
I am much involved in youth projects, catering for funerals free of charge, and I form part of the volunteer cleaning-up projects in Toekomsrus.
