The Khorixas Constituency Councillor is encouraging young people from his constituency to come up with creative ideas and present these to their constituency office. 

Sebastiaan !Gobs argues that when community members come up with initiatives, they typically take ownership of these and see them through. 

The constituency office has been developing initiatives for the community; these are not as effective as when the community itself initiates and takes responsibility for such programmes. 

He stated that the office is prepared to receive proposals for review by a committee established by the community, and he pledged to go above and beyond to secure funding for these proposals.

So far, the Khorixas Constituency Office has handed out seeds, equipment, and building materials to the local community, among others.

!Gobs also expressed concern over the lack of local beneficiation from natural sites and resources in the constituency, or from the fauna and flora they attempt to preserve.
