| Introduction | I am a DA councillor in Pretoria. I fully subscribe to the DA's Open Opportunity Society philosophy. In fact, during my studies (BA International Politics), I was influenced by the work of Karl Popper and I became a follower of the Open Society idea. I am a liberal democrat placing a high premium on individual freedom. My benadering tot die politieke diskoers word deur N.P. van Wyk Louw se idee oor die Oop Gesprek onderle. Volgens hierdie siening kan niemand volkome aanspraak op die waarheid maak nie, en geen gesprek is ooit afgehandel nie. I believe in South Africa's future. Yes, we have many challenges, but nowhere in the world is there a place without problems. In our case, the first and foremost objective is to protect and strengthen our constitutional democracy. I am committed to make a contribution in this regard. Ek koester 'n passie vir rolprente en letterkunde omdat ek nuuskierig is oor die wereld waarin ons leef en die menslike kondisie, spesifiek vanuit 'n eksistensiele perspektief. |
