Who is GOOD
A GOOD Start
GOOD is a South African political party that was formed in December 2018.
In November 2018 after resigning from the DA (Democratic Alliance), along with former Mayor of Cape Town Patricia De Lille and several former DA Councillors and staff, we gathered together and decided to launch a new political party committed to the values, policies and vision for South Africa, that we shared and which we could not find support for in the DA.
Patricia De Lille said “when good people do nothing evil prospers” and so we launched GOOD.
GOOD was registered as a political party in February 2019 and registered to contest the National and Provincial elections, just 3 months later, in May 2019.
48 political parties contested those elections – the highest number ever – of which 19 were new parties. GOOD was one of only two of the new parties to gain seats in the National Assembly and a seat in the Western Cape Provincial Legislature.
In 2021 GOOD contested at local government level for the first time. There are 257 municipalities in South Africa. GOOD contested only about 40 of them and we managed to get 49 councillors elected in Councils across 4 provinces.
GOOD is a party that supports the vision for South Africa encapsulated in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
We are social democrats who believe in social justice, spatial justice, economic justice and environmental justice.
