DA Wins Bitou Ward 7 By-Election
Annalise Olivier, the DA candidate and Speaker for the Bitou Municipality, has won the Ward 7 by-election with 54% of the vote versus the ANC’s 46%.
3251 people voted which represented 72% of the Kranshoek electorate.
The DA’s majority means that the ANC and COPE cannot re-attempt a vote of no confidence in Mayor Memory Booysen.
With the DA having championed the latest round of Bitou’s insane politics, it will be hoped that the politicians will finally get back to work. However, sources of discontent remain so expect a bumpy road.
Hi Mike.
Although, we the residents of Plett are just as annoyed with the DA with their arrogance and lack of communication with the residents, this vote will hopefully at least allow them to get back to work. Funny how when they were voted in we were promised a by weekly report from the mayor, which became a monthly report to now ZERO report, except when they try and convince us that we as residents will not be paying for the recently wasted legal costs. Who are they trying to fool!!.
Yep, funny how “funny” in politicalese translates as “lies”. We have the same in Knysna, a high horse disdain for public. There is very little care left when it’s needed most. Yes, hoping it’s back to work to, for the sake of Plett. Check out the site in 5 minutes. ANC sent an interesting press release which i’ll post.
