A GOOD party campaign bus in Cape Town during the 2019 South African general election.

Good (stylised in all caps) is a South African political party that was formed in December 2018.[1] It is led by its founder Patricia de Lille, current Minister of Tourism and former mayor of Cape Town, who is also the party's sole member in the National Assembly. The party's stronghold is the Western Cape and mainly draws support from the Coloured community.[2][3]

In May 2019, De Lille was the only opposition member appointed to serve in the cabinet of South Africa. She had stated that Good would remain an opposition party.[4]
