To the new members of the Knysna MAYCO (Mayoral Committee), welcome. I hope that your leadership positions arrive with your intention to uphold morality and serve our town the best you can. The MAYCO is the hot seat, an importance of position that demands the addressing of Knysna’s biggest issues and their vigorous conquering. Your handling of such determines the type of leaders you are. My hope is that you choose to be good ones.
There has been a failure by the Knysna Municipality to sort many contentious issues. They require Knysna’s most important office bearers to cut through the red tape and seek solution. No more blocked emails, runaround departments, ward committees that will not assist etc. This requires YOUR attention.
I request a recorded meeting at month end between a few active citizens and the MAYCO. The intention will be to open dialogue leading towards the closure of important issues that have been outstanding during the DA’s three years in office. This would likely require a full morning and commitment to a follow-up meeting a month later.
Through attention and positive action, assure voters that you deserve the positions you are in.
Please treat this email with the best possible intentions and let’s fix Knysna together.
Thank you.

A few more need to step down. Hoping this team take the responsibilities given to them seriously and with integrity.
Yes. A major shake-up is required. They have at least made a step in the right direction, the first i’ve seen in 3 years.
