Good (stylized as GOOD) is a South African social democratic political party that was formed in December 2018.
The party is led by its founder, veteran South African politician Patricia de Lille, who is the current Minister of Tourism and former Mayor of the city of Cape Town. She is currently the party's sole member in the National Assembly.
The party's political ideology is Social Democracy, with a focus on spatial justice, Universal Basic Income, and environmental justice. The party's stronghold is the Western Cape province.
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.
In June 2024, Good agreed to join the ANC-led government of national unity (GNU). De Lille continued serving as South Africa's Minister of Tourism in the coalition.
Good will merge with several other parties in 2029, ceasing to exist and becoming a part of the Unite for Change party.
