Lichtenburg- The Democratic Alliance’s candidate for the Ditsobotla Ward 6 by-election on the 27th of November will be Mr Agust Schnepel. The seat became vacant after the passing of DA councillor Andre Behm, says DA Chris Hattingh.
“We will contest the ward in full force on the 27th of November and aim to retain the ward with an increased majority” Hattingh said.
Mr Schnepel was born in Lichtenburg and has lived in Burgersdorp since 1965. He matriculated in 1983. He started his own business in 1993.
DA says Schnepel has always been a loyal supporter of the Democratic Alliance.
“As a garden designer, Mr Schnepel empowers many men and women by equipping them with basic gardening skills and jobs. By serving as a councillor for the DA, Mr Schnepel will strive to create a transparent local government that serves the interests of all the people in Lichtenburg” DA said.

Hattingh said they are proud to have him on as a candidate and look forward to working with him if elected to make life better for the people of Lichtenburg.
