Councillor Timothy Jantjes was elected as the new deputy executive
mayor of the Kouga Municipality at a council meeting in Jeffreys Bay on August
31.
Jantjes took over the position that was left vacant after Councillor Hattingh Bornman was elected as Kouga executive mayor, while Bornman took over the reins from former executive mayor, Horatio Hendricks who has
been appointed as a DA member in the Eastern Cape Legislature.
Dr Vicky Knoetze, Tsitsi-Kouga constituency leader said that
the DA congratulates Jantjes who she believes will build on the good work started by the DA
when they took over the Kouga government in 2016.
She said that Jantjes was first elected as a councillor in
2018 and is currently also serving as the mayoral committee member for electro
and mechanical services.
“He has shown himself to be an excellent public
representative and has a proven track record of selfless service to the
communities of Kouga,” said Knoetze.
“The DA has full confidence in the abilities of Jantjes and
we know that he will provide valuable support to Bornman in continuing to
implement the DA’s mandate of clean governance and service delivery.”
