IT’S TIME FOR THE PEOPLE TO HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE!

Why vote for me?

Because unlike the faces you see on the poles, I’ve done the groundwork.

I’ve stood in the streets and fought for women, children and the safety of our people while police threw grenades at us.

I’ve sat with mothers begging for the return of their child.

I’ve sat in court while families prayed that justice would win in the end.

I’ve been in the same rooms as victims and perpetrators.

I’ve looked ugliness in the eyes.

I’ve seen what happens when people are forgotten.

And I’ve never looked away.

I’m not a politician who sits in meetings, has endless talks and promises action tomorrow.

I’m here to make sure action gets taken today.

I’m not here to make promises I can’t keep.

I’m here to listen, to stand up, and to get things done.

So when you go to the polls, ask yourself:

Who has actually been there?

Vote for me.

Because I’m not above you.

I’m one of you ✊

To the women of our country

Today, we celebrate women.
But we also remember the women who fought before us, the women still fighting today, and the girls who will carry the fight tomorrow.

We are strong. But we shouldn’t always have to be.

We deserve to feel safe.
We deserve to be heard.
We deserve to dream bigger.
And we deserve to stand together.

So to every woman who has ever been told she’s too loud, too difficult or too much:

Keep being too much.
Keep speaking.
Keep fighting.
Keep taking up space.

Because when women stand together, we are unstoppable.

Happy Women’s Day, South Africa 🇿🇦

Today is 1 August.

Women’s Month.

And every year, we see the same beautiful messages.

Happy Women’s Month.
Celebrate the women in your life.
Women are strong.

And strong, we are.

But before we celebrate women, we need to look at the reality of what it means to be a woman in our country.

These are NOT just statistics.

These are mothers.
Daughters.
Sisters.
Friends.
Children.

Between January and March this year, 9,782 r**es were reported to police in South Africa.

That’s roughly 109 reported r**es every single day.

And 47.2% happened in residential settings.

Home.

The place where we are supposed to feel safe.

In the Western Cape alone, 1,107 r**es were reported in those three months.

And then there are our children.

129 reported r**e cases involved victims under the age of 18.

Read that again.

Our children.

These aren’t just numbers.

They’re lives. Families. Futures changed forever.

So no. This Women’s Month, I don’t just want to say Happy Women’s Month.

I want us to talk.
I want us to listen.
I want us to ask the questions that make us uncomfortable.

I want us to stop teaching women how not to be r**ed…

And start teaching society not to r**e women.

Stop asking survivors:

“Why didn’t you speak sooner?”

Start asking:

“Why were you so afraid to speak at all?”

When a woman finally finds the courage to speak, we should listen.

This Women’s Month, let’s not just celebrate women.

Let’s fight for them ✊🏳️‍🌈✊

There’s a saying that has been sitting heavily on my heart lately:

“Make your table longer, not your walls higher.”

And I think it applies to so much more than just our personal lives.

As elections get closer, we see political parties coming to the table.

Suddenly, everyone wants to listen.

Everyone wants to be seen.

Everyone wants to talk about the people.

But what about those who have already been sitting at that table long before election season?

The people who have been serving their communities when there were no cameras.

The people who have been picking up rubbish, visiting families, helping where they can, standing up for children, speaking out against injustice and simply showing up because they care.

Those people deserve a seat at the table too.

I don’t believe we should build higher walls around our communities and decide who is worthy of being heard.

I believe we should make the table longer.

There is room for different voices.

There is room for different ideas.

There is room for people who don’t always agree.

And there is certainly room for those who have been doing the work long before the election posters went up.

Because leadership shouldn’t be about who can shout the loudest when it’s time for votes.

It should be about who was there when nobody was watching.

I will always choose the longer table.

Because when we make room for more people, we don’t lose our place.

We make the table stronger 🏳️‍🌈✊🏳️‍🌈

We need to talk about our children.

We’ve all seen the stories.

Children who disappear.
Children who are abused.
Children who don’t make it home.
Children whose families are left with nothing but questions and heartbreak.

And every time we see another story, we shake our heads, we feel sad, we share the post… and then life carries on.

But what if that was our child?

What if it was your daughter?
Your son?
Your grandchild?
Your neighbour’s child?

Would we still say, “It’s not my problem”?

We can't keep looking away, because your child is my child!

That means we look out for the child walking home alone.

We speak up when something doesn’t feel right.

We don’t ignore signs of abuse.

We teach our children that they can talk to us.

And we stand beside families when they need help.

Our children don’t belong only to their parents. They belong to our community, and their safety is a responsibility we all share.

A child should never have to be afraid in the place they call home or where they are educated.

So I ask every parent, grandparent, neighbour, teacher, auntie and uncle:

Look up. Look around. Know your community. Know your children.

Because sometimes, saving a child starts with simply paying attention.

Your child is my child.

✊🏳️‍🌈
