EMILE YX? IS RUNNING FOR WARD COUNCILOR OF WARD 65
May
2011
Emile has decided to run for Ward Councilor for Ward 65, Grassy Park and Lotus River with SAPCO, South African Progressive Civic Organization. He feels that it’s an extension of the work that he is doing in the area with youth anyway and thus has to show these young people that we are “the government” in a democracy and need to be the change we wish to see. So vote for Emile on the 18th May in our local elections. Go to event on FB http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=122056867870175
