Geagte Inwoners van Wyk 8
Gister het President Ramaphosa amptelik die datum vir die 2026 Plaaslike Regeringsverkiesings aangekondig: 4 November 2026. Met hierdie aankondiging betree ons amptelik die veldtogtydperk, en ons het u hulp nodig.
Eerstens, 'n hartlike dankie.
Oor die afgelope dekade was u die fondament van alles wat ons saam bereik het. U ondersteuning het ons wyk laat groei van 3 009 geregistreerde kiesers in 2019 tot ongeveer 4 879 vandag. U vertroue het 'n buitengewone 86,64% resultaat in ons wyk tydens die laaste verkiesings gelewer, wat Mosselbaai die Top Bydraende DA-kiesafdeling in Suid-Afrika gemaak het. En in 2024 het u stem bygedra tot 'n oorweldigende 66,3% meerderheid in die Mosselbaai-kiesafdeling, wat beteken dat ons met stabiliteit en 'n duidelike mandaat regeer, vry van die onsekerheid van koalisiepolitiek.
Soos Prof Thuli Madonsela tydens haar besoek aan Mosselbaai opgemerk het, stem kiesers met hul voete, en mense kies Mosselbaai. Ons bly een van Suid-Afrika se top semigrasiebestemmings, 'n bewys van hoe goeie regering in die praktyk lyk: skoon strate, betroubare dienste, groeiende infrastruktuur en 'n dorp wat vooruit beplan.
Ons is innig dankbaar. Dankie. Nou moet ons daarop voortbou.
Om te beskerm wat ons gebou het en te laat groei wat volgende kom, vereis hulpbronne. Daarom loods ons die DA Mosselbaai Wyk 8 R50 Baksteenveldtog.
Ons vra elke ondersteuner om 'n R50-boubaksteen te koop om ons LGE 2026-veldtog te help befonds. Jou R50-baksteen is meer as 'n finansiële bydrae, dit is 'n mosie van vertroue in alles wat ons saam gebou het, en die fondament van alles wat nog moet kom.
Om deel te neem:
Gebruik die verskafde FNB-bankbesonderhede en verwysingsnommer om jou R50 te deponeer.
SMS jou bewys van betaling en jou afleweringsadres aan Lindie Edwards by 082 297 7165.
Nog 'n manier waarop jy kan help.
Soos ons dorp aanhou groei, vra ons dat u ons kontak wanneer u bewus word van nuwe inwoners wat na Mosselbaai verhuis. Ons verwelkom hulle graag en help hulle met herregistrasie, sodat hulle ook kan stem om ons dorp so goed bestuur te hou soos dit is.
Saam, steen vir steen, beskerm ons wat ons s'n is en bou wat volgende is. Stem DA. Bou Mosselbaai.
Vriendelike groete,

Dear Residents of Ward 8
Today, President Ramaphosa officially announced the date for the 2026 Local Government Elections: 4 November 2026. With this announcement, we officially enter the campaign period, and we need your help.
First, a heartfelt Thank You.
Over the past decade, you have been the foundation of everything we have achieved together. Your support has seen our ward grow from 3 009 registered voters in 2019 to roughly 4 879 today. Your trust delivered an extraordinary 86.64% result in our ward during the last elections, making Mossel Bay the Top Contributing DA Constituency in South Africa. And in 2024, your vote contributed to a commanding 66.3% majority in the Mossel Bay Constituency, meaning we govern with stability and a clear mandate, free from the uncertainty of coalition politics.
As Prof Thuli Madonsela observed during her visit to Mossel Bay, voters vote with their feet, and people are choosing Mossel Bay. We remain one of South Africa's top semigration destinations, a testament to what good governance looks like in practice: clean streets, reliable services, growing infrastructure, and a town that plans ahead.
We are deeply grateful. Thank you. Now, we need to build on it.
Protecting what we have built and growing what comes next, requires resources. That is why we are launching the DA Mossel Bay Ward 8 R50 Brick Campaign.
We are asking every supporter to purchase a R50 building brick to help fund our LGE 2026 campaign. Your R50 brick is more than a financial contribution, it’s a vote of confidence in everything we've built together, and the foundation of everything still to come.
To participate:
Using the provided FNB banking details, and reference number, deposit your R50.
SMS your proof of payment, and your delivery address to Lindie Edwards at 082 297 7165.
One more way you can help.
As our town continues to grow, we ask that you contact us whenever you become aware of new residents moving to Mossel Bay. We would love to welcome them and assist them with re-registration, so that they too can vote to keep our town as well-run as it is.
Together, brick by brick, we protect what is ours and build what is next. Vote DA. Build Mossel Bay.
Warm regards,
Lindie Edwards
