Ward 102 Democratic Alliance candidate outlines her vision for the ward
DA candidate for Ward 102 Bea Campbell-Cloete has called on residents to register to vote and help restore trust in local government.
Bea Campbell-Cloete, the Democratic Alliance (DA) candidate for Ward 102, says strong leadership, accountability, and clear communication are needed to address growing frustrations among residents ahead of the upcoming by-election.
Introducing herself to the community, Campbell-Cloete said she believes local government works best when councillors are visible, accessible, and answerable to the people they serve. She described Ward 102 as a diverse and vibrant area where every resident’s voice should matter.

Campbell-Cloete brings a mix of political and professional experience to her campaign. She has served as a councillor for nine years in several municipalities and has also worked at an executive level in the corporate sector. She said this has given her strong skills in organisation, communication, and problem-solving, as well as a clear understanding of how difficult it can be for residents when systems fail.
Standing as the DA candidate, she said Ward 102 needs consistent leadership and someone who will actively fight for issue resolution. She also has a personal connection to the area, having lived and worked in the ward. Her children went to school in Randburg, her grandmother is buried locally, and her family has a business in the area.
She identified the main challenges facing Ward 102 as service delivery failures, including poor roads, potholes, storm water issues, electricity problems, illegal dumping, hijacked properties, and weak law enforcement, which she said are harming local businesses, public safety, and a struggling local economy.

Campbell-Cloete said residents have expressed frustration over unresolved problems and poor communication. If elected, she plans to use WhatsApp groups, community meetings, and regular updates to keep residents informed.
She also encouraged residents to take part in the voter registration weekend, stressing that correct registration is essential. Residents can register at designated stations or online through the Electoral Commission of South Africa.
Her final message was clear: Participation matters. “We can only improve Ward 102 if residents get involved and make their voices count.”
