LCA Thanks Supporters

THE local authority election of 2004 is history.

Unfortunately the LCA was not able to reach its anticipated

results.

Only 34,98 % of the registered voters in Windhoek participated

in the election.

 

This shameful show of non-interest once again granted the

existing authority the unlimited majority.

 

We from the Local Community Association want to thank all our

candidates, voters and helpers, especially Jurie Viljoen, for their

assistance and hard work.

 

A special word of thanks also to those private individuals who

enabled us to run our election campaign with their financial

assistance.

 

The money was used for advertisements, printing costs, copies

etc Even if we did not reach our goal and are no longer represented

in local authority, we together with the Windhoek Ratepayers

Association (WRA) will keep a watchful eye on their activities and

fiscal policy.

 

We will comment upon the decisions taken by this authority and

should any decisions taken not be in the interest of the Windhoek

citizens, we will make this known through the local media.

 

It is the money of the taxpayers in Windhoek that is involved in

these decisions and therefore the citizens have the right and the

responsibility to be watchful and critical.

 

Help us to keep a watchful eye by informing us about any

irregularities that you notice.

 

In conclusion: Thank you again for your support.

 

We will see you again in 5 years time, then hopefully with more

success due to a better voter participation.

 

And remember, if you have not voted, you by implication stated

that you are happy with the current state of affairs as you did not

want to try and change things.
