It is not just about taking part in elections though taking part in elections is a vital part of the role.

It is about being interested and informed on matters political, social, social policy and nationhood.

It is also about participating, to what ever level one is able, in local and community affairs whether via residents’ associations, parent/teacher groups etc.

It is about being willing to participate/work on local and national boards, SPCs, CDBs etc.

However, the participation must be encouraged, supported, recognised and welcomed by the statutory sector.
