The Knysna-Plett Herald is featuring the resignation (effective in 2 months time) of Lauren Waring, our Municipal Manager.

I was asked, as others have been, for my view. I expected them to just use one comment, if any, but see that they’ve given it attention on their website as an article entitled ‘Wall of Secrecy Removed’.  No, i don’t wear that t-shirt all the time – that was a photo they took 2 months ago when they interviewed me:)

Sure there will be agreements and disagreement on my views so be sure to check everyone’s opinions in today’s edition as a journey towards making your own mind up.

Knysna, unfortunately, in for even harder times. What happens with Municipal appointments is critical. And that wall of secrecy is going to need more people removed or departed for us to understand what is really happening inside Knysna Municipality.
