I am under no illusions

By

Consider this: As an independent under the banner of a brand new movement – AIM (Abantu Integrity Movement) – the chances of winning election as a Ward Councillor in Ward 7 are slim.

In fact I tell my mates the following; “I am under no illusion of winning a seat – in Ward 7 80% of the voters voted for the DA in 2016!” – quite big odds to go up against you would agree.

BUT

A mate of mine wrote back to me recently in response to my summation of the situation saying; “And little difference that made to the absolute abuse of the coffers of this metropole by the mighty ANC and their criminal allies. Good luck, pal.”

Bless his big heart for the support and his fine words which reminded me of just why I embarked on this journey – to make a little difference in the lives of those around me.

If you do vote in Ward 7 on 27 October 2021 please do consider chipping away at the 80% and making BOTH crosses next to the AIM Logo!
