Remember, everything we do now is for the next generation. We need to leave a legacy that they can be proud of. - Elmarie Linde

People need to make their voices heard and take part in public participation processes, as this helps the government make decisions and introduce legislation that works for all.

I believe in making an impact by doing effective oversight and listening to what people want. To my advantage is the fact that I have worked on the ground for 20 years (being in government and as opposition) in different communities, and I understand the needs and challenges that South Africans face daily.

the government should embark on effective public educational programs in schools and tertiary institutions, educating people about how Parliament works, the importance of participation, and how they can engage with their representatives and hold them accountable.
