I pledge to continue the struggle for dignity and fairness for all South Africans”, said Patricia de Lille. Patricia de Lille is leader of the Good Party, a new party that was part of the opposition. “It is time for South Africans to demonstrate that we can rise above party political differences” said Patricia de Lille. As former Chair of the GPM, de Lille has always promoted her believe that mayors and their cities are the drivers of change.
