🙌 🗞️ Another week of wins and fighting to make South Africa a better place has come to an end! Take a look at DA trending news. 🔽

[Democratic Alliance @Our_DA]

🕊️ It is with profound sadness and a deep sense of loss that we have learnt today of the passing of Gregory Krumbock, a dedicated Member of Parliament, the Democratic Alliance's National Campaign Manager for many elections, including campaign 2024, a visionary strategist and a stalwart of the Democratic Alliance. Greg was not just a colleague; he was a friend, a mentor, and a passionate advocate for democracy in South Africa.

Rest in peace, Greg Krumbock. Your legacy will live on.

A tattoo shouldn’t determine whether you get into the police or not. For so long as it doesn’t directly bring the police into disrepute by what it says or shows, a good cops value can never be determined by a bit of ink.
