The local authority election of 2004 is history. Unfortunately, the LCA was not able to reach its anticipated results.

Only 34,98% of the registered voters in Windhoek participated in the election. This shameful show of non-interest once again granted the existing authority the unlimited majority.

As Schiller said in his „Maid of Orleans": Even Gods can not win against stupidity...

We from the Local Community Association want to thank all our candidates, voters and helpers, especially Mr Jurie Viljoen, for their assistance and hard work. A special word of thanks also to those private individuals and companies who enabled us to run our election campaign with their financial assistance. The money was used for advertisements, printing costs, copies etc.

Even if we did not reach our goal and are no longer represented in the local authority, we, together with the Windhoek Ratepayers Association (WRA) will keep a watchful eye on their activities and expense policy. We will comment upon the decisions taken by this authority and should any decisions taken not be in the interest of the Windhoek citizens, we will make this known through the local media. It is the money of the taxpayers in Windhoek that is involved in these decisions and therefore the citizens have the right and the responsibility to be watchful and critical. Help us to keep a watchful eye by informing us about any irregularities that you notice.

In conclusion: Thank you again for your support. We will see you again in 5 years time, then hopefully with more success due to a better voter participation. And remember: If you have not voted, you by implication stated that you are happy with the state of affairs, as you did not want to try and change it.
