Fynn strives for godly governance
Irene Fynn is a community activist who has participated in various campaigns and awareness programmes in and around her community.
IRENE Fynn is the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) councillor candidate for Ward 66.
“Many Christians are unaware that there is a Christian Political party as the ACDP. Change has to come and it can only come through God. We’re asking for everything else, our protection, safety, wealth and health but we don’t place the country in his hands and I think it’s about time that we do.
“All I am doing is canvasing for Christians and fellow citizens to realise that we need to turn to God. I am merely standing as ward councillor candidate as a messenger. My hope is to be used as a vessel to alert others that the party exists and we can make a difference for the good of our country. As Christians we are governed by values how much better would it be if we put leaders with that kind of mentality? We could eliminate things like corruption and bring Ubuntu to life.”
Fynn grew up in Hime Street, Wentworth and moved to the Bluff as an adult. Until recently, she was a teacher at Durban East Primary School for several years. She is also a community activist who has participated in various campaigns and awareness programmes in and around her community.
She noted the need for effective change in service delivery delays and the breakdown of public infrastructure, bridging the gap and tensions between informal settlements and the suburban areas within the Bluff, to see improvements in the educational system and housing department. She also stressed the importance of enforcing good home values in the youth which is close to her heart.
Fynn is part of the forgotten citizens of South Africa (FOCSA) which is a movement aimed at fighting for more skills development and opportunities for individuals over the age of 35.
“I believe all this is highly possible. I am not here to negatively criticize the work done by the previous and current councillors. I aim to promote family values and godly governance. I want the ward 66 community to not just see my face but instead to see the kingdom vision that ultimately we want to live in a peaceful place where there is a decrease in crime and an increase in education, housing and honourable leaders,” said Fynn.
