I am employed as a software developer by the Democratic Alliance.

On Wikipedia I work mostly on articles related to Cape Town or South Africa in general. If you want me to take a photo of something in Cape Town, particularly the Southern Suburbs, leave a message on my talk page.

Conflict of interest declaration

edit

I am an employee of the Democratic Alliance. My position is technical and does not involve political activity or public relations. Nonetheless, I recuse myself from editing all articles in Category:Democratic Alliance (South Africa), articles on other current South African political parties, and articles on contemporary South African party politics in general. I note certain exceptions to this recusal:

Please point it out to me if I inadvertently break these restrictions.

Just wanted to say thanks for correcting the South African election dates. I'm amazed they were incorrect, and wonder how the incorrect dates were added i the first place! Number 57 14:53, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
