Good (stylised as GOOD) 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. The party's stronghold is the Western Cape and mainly draws support from the Coloured community.[2][3]

The party holds two seats in the National Assembly of South Africa, while it also has one seat in the Western Cape Provincial Parliament.[4] 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.[5]
