Temporary Victory Against Illegal Lockouts for Social Housing Tenants at DCI
The GOOD Party is outraged by the shocking events that unfolded outside the DCI Goodwood Social Housing complex on Friday, 10 October 2025, where tenants were subjected to illegal lockouts, gunfire, and intimidation. On Friday afternoon, tenants at the Goodwood Social Housing complex were threatened with illegal evictions and lease cancellations. Later that evening, during a peaceful solidarity protest, DCI management and private security responded with hostility. GOOD councillors witnessed four gunshots fired into the air, less than 20 metres from the protest, in an apparent attempt to intimidate tenants and activists. Earlier, a group of men dressed in dark clothing, reportedly the same individuals accused of intimidating residents and previously assaulting a young woman tenant, arrived at the scene armed with baseball bats.

George Municipality: Answers to Questions Expose Evasion and Exclusion
As the GOOD Party, we reject the culture of evasion that characterises formal written responses from the George Municipality.
As elected officials, our duty is to the people of George, not to bureaucratic stonewalling or political self-protection.
The answers provided by George Municipality to our formal questions expose the municipality’s lack of transparency and disregard for the opposition’s right to oversight.
