TWO months prior to Local Government Elections (LGE) Rowena Bosman broke her hip while campaigning.

However, she did not let that stop her, and worked to help residents with issues from her hospital bed and while in recovery.

She was voted as councillor elect for the DA for Ward 110 with 11 114 votes (49.46%).

The uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) secured 6103 votes (27.16%) while the ANC secured 2 740 votes (12.19%).

Bosman now takes over from the MKP’s Mandla Biyela, who died last month after a short illness.

“I have been helping prior to being voted in as ward councillor and I’ve carried on in the lead-up to the LGE. For me being a ward councillior is about putting the community first, it’s a way of life. If I can make one person’s life easier and get the community moving then that’s a win. I feel if the DA do govern eThekwini we can make a bigger difference,” she said.

Service to others is something Bosman is passionate about, having spent over a decade with Lions International, participated in ratepayers’ associations and Community Police Forums.

Her top priorities going into her term are improving service delivery, improving infrastructure and ensuring effective, responsive communication, as well as improved animal welfare.

She is also an advocate for consideration of additional policing and traffic monitoring.

Top priorities:

• Reliable municipal service delivery
• Improved infrastructure, water in taps.
• Clean and safe neighbourhoods for all.
• Effective, responsive communication, and improved animal welfare. I also advocate for consideration of additional policing and traffic monitoring.
