Knysna Salaries & DA Lies
Mayor Georlene Wolmarans is currently earning R665 000 per year. Deputy Mayor Esmé Edge and and Speaker Eleonor Spies are on R536 000. The salary average of the 5 Mayoral Committee members (which includes the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and councillors Louisa Hart, Irene Grootboom and Ray Barrell) is R503 000 per year.
Despite this, they are not prepared to be honest with the public about the state of Knysna. They are not prepared to uphold the DA’s election promises of austerity, open doors and transparency.
The DA lied to us!
And don’t be one of those propaganda fools who calls me ANC when i criticise the DA. The DA is in power, not the ANC. I DO NOT support the ANC and despise any Councillor who does not publicly state their disgust at the financial rape of South Africa by Zuma and his friends. And damn Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa for his part in the Marikana Massacre and avoiding tax by sending his mining profits overseas.
My focus is on the Knysna which is in front of me and you! THIS IS ABOUT THE DA EARNING GOOD SALARIES WHILST LYING TO US. That is the same as every single one of them saying, “Fuck you.” Yes, even you who will criticise me for swearing.
Our town is seriously in crisis and worse is on the way. We have to understand the financial situation of our town. We have to know what is happening with our lives so that we have some control over it!
I have written many emails about the ISDF related to Sedgefield, without sensible honest answers
I have to encounter anyone who believed they’d received a satisfactory answer. The goal has seemed to be dismissive rather than enlightening.
Let these hypocrites eat until there is nothing left. The people of Knysna deserve these fatcats because they have voted for them. The same goes for Plett. I love the ANC and whilst there is no altrenative, I will vote ANC.
If anything, i hope most for an alternative to both the ANC and the DA. Politics needs to be for the people. Tired of all the fighting between the parties that doesn’t help us at all.
Lauren , why don’t you set the example and take the salary sacrifice ?
As it should be. Lead before asking anything of Knysna. PS: Correspondent, appreciate your input but please note that all commentators must make themselves known to me, whether privately or publicly. I have to apply the same rule to those who agree or disagree with me. Thanks.
