Mayor Georlene Wolmarans threatens Knysna Public?
Georlene Wolmarans
Georlene Wolmarans has continued her attack on the Knysna public.
She’s the ex-ID (de Lille’s party) member who was only DA for a short period time, lost her ward in Hornlee to the ANC, yet became Knysna’s Mayor. Despite Helen Zille and Patricia de Lille stating no deal was made, last time there was a miracle that big, they named the baby Jesus,
Mayor Georlene Wolmarans promised us transparency and an open-door policy as part of her election campaign but the only thing we have been able to rely on has been her lies.
Now, in response to a detailed legal objection to the fraud that is the ISDF tender (appeared in the Knysna-Plett Herald on June 12 2013, the Knysna-Plett Herald had stated that her response was to threaten “that the Knysna Municipality may choose to take legal steps against persons and/or publications should they publish any information deemed “defamatory” about the municipality and/or its officials.”
WTF
Let me educate Mayor Georlene Wolmarans: ‘Defamation’ is only when it isn’t true!
And will you use the public’s money to sue the public?
You shouldn’t be in office. You should be in jail, guilty of contempt of the people you are supposed to serve, the people who pay you approximately R50 000p/m with perks (an amount your accountant, contrary to law, won’t share with us – hey, Grant Easton, this is your final warning!).
A good mayor would’ve investigated Tourism when she was made aware of irregularities (and saved Knysna millions). A good mayor would’ve vehemently objected to the ISDF tender which is rotten on so many levels. A good mayor would never allow the emails of citizens to be blocked by the Municipality. A good mayor would’ve made Knysna fair for all races.
That the DA (Undemocratic Alliance) continues to allow her contemptuous behaviour clearly shows that they condone it and are no better than the ANC, simply eager to put their hands in the public purse. They may have had a better marketing campaign…but the public is starting to wake up.
I realize that this blog will upset some of my readers but I beg you to start thinking for yourself. Forget colours of skins and political propaganda! Ask yourself if they have been transparent. Ask yourself if our so-called leaders have been honest with us and true to their election promises.
Close down the hatches. Refuse to discuss ongoing issues. Prosecute people who write anything deemed critical of them. What’s next? Disappearances? They’re behaving like an Argentine Junta. No wonder sales of ‘1984’ have risen 4000% in the last couple of years.
On a less serious note, ‘people’ are not measured in ‘amounts’ but numbers.
Really unbelievable. I want her fired now. inefficient, awful woman!
What may be more disturbing than her naysayers is the amount of people who don’t even know who she is. How can she be a leader if the people she represents don’t know who she is.?
There’s a major breakdown between politicians and the public, a gap that doesn’t encourage understanding. I’m under no illusion that any leader can make everyone happy (there’s too many agendas at play and hatred is a damaging, unhelpful political tool) – it is a difficult job – but i want to, at least, respect them even when i disagree. I want a mayor who i’m convinced represents us, whom i’m willing to forgive when she or he makes mistakes because they admit them and learn from them.
