N\u00e1 meer as \u2019n dekade in die Wynlande en agt jaar as burgemeester van die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit het raadsheer Gesie van Deventer op 30 Oktober aangekondig sy hang binnekort haar ketting op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Deventer het die afgelope Woensdag (30 Oktober) op \u2019n emosionele raadsvergadering aangekondig sy sal aan die einde van November uittree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is in Augustus 2016 as burgemeester van die Eikestad verkies. Voor haar termyn in Stellenbosch was sy aan die stuur van sake by die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit, waar sy vyf jaar gedien het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voor dit was Van Deventer, wat ook \u2019n wynboer in die Agter-Paarl is, sedert 2011 aan die stuur as die burgemeester van Drakenstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tertuis Simmers, leier van die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) in die Wes-Kaap, het Van Deventer in \u2019n verklaring as \u2019n ware pilaar van die party beskryf. Hy meen haar toewyding en veggees vir dienslewering laat \u2019n \u201conuitwisbare stempel op inwoners in Drakenstein en Stellenbosch\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stellenbosch se munisipale bestuurder, Geraldine Mettler, het Woensdag ges\u00ea Van Deventer is die langsdienende burgemeester van Stellenbosch in Suid-Afrika se demokratiese geskiedenis. \u201cOnder haar leiding het Stellenbosch en sy omliggende dorpe uitsonderlike groei beleef, met transformerende ontwikkeling, die modernisering van infrastruktuur en \u2019n sterk fokus op basiese dienste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJaar n\u00e1 jaar is meer as 80% van die munisipaliteit se immer-groeiende begroting aan dienslewering en infrastruktuurverbeterings gewy, wat haar toewyding weerspie\u00ebl om inwoners op te hef en \u2019n volhoubare toekoms te bou,\u201d meen Mettler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Leon Schreiber, die minister van binnelandse sake, het Van Deventer in \u2019n verklaring sy \u201cvriendin, mede-Namakwalander en voorslag-burgemeester van die DA-vlagskip\u201d genoem. Schreiber, \u2019n DA-LP en voorheen die verkiesingshoof in Stellenbosch, verwys na sy kollega as \u2019n \u201cbekwame hand\u201d en meen sy verdien haar rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGesie, dis gepas dat jy die aankondiging gemaak het net \u2019n dag n\u00e1 jou jaarlikse blommeparade. Die pragtige blombeddings wat jy met soveel liefde in die middedorp geplant het, som jou nalatenskap in Stellenbosch op \u2013 \u2019n kleurvolle eiland van hoop wat wys dat regerings in hierdie land met die regte leiers k\u00e1n werk \u2013 en k\u00e1n omgee,\u201d skryf Schreiber op X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mettler s\u00ea Van Deventer sal deur kollegas en inwoners gemis word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
