WITZENBERG \u2013 Die gort is behoorlik gaar in die Witzenberg nadat \u2019n ANC-geleide koalisie beheer van die raad oorgeneem het.<\/p>\n
Dit volg n\u00e1 \u2019n maande lange struweling tussen die DA en GOOD. Die voormalige speaker, Elizabeth Sidego, het \u2019n vergadering in Junie vir redes buite die raad se beheer gekanselleer. Die redes het ingesluit die sluiting van Michellspas as gevolg van die gure weer waartydens die pad beskadig is.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Groep raadslede het toe \u2019n vergadering van hul eie gehou en op hierdie vergadering is \u2019n mosie van wantroue ingedien en \u2019n nuwe burgemeester, onderburgemeester en speaker is verkies. In \u2019n verklaring wat destyds deur die speaker uitgestuur is, is ges\u00ea die vergadering was onwettig weens die gebrek aan \u2019n kworum.<\/p>\n
Katriena Robyn is op daardie vergaderings as burgemeester verkies, en sy is nou weer as burgemeester van die Witzenberg-streek verkies. Die destydse verkiesing van Robyn het egter lang persverklarings van albei partye ontlok en ook daartoe gelei dat die partye regsmenings verkry het.<\/p>\n
Intussen het die DA volgehou die DA-lid Hennie Smit sou die burgemeester bly en Sidego sal ook haar pos behou. Nou, maande later, is beide Smit en Sidego vervang. Die mediaverklaring waarin die munisipaliteit die nuus bekend maak, maak melding van \u2019n spesiale raadsvergadering wat Dinsdag 17 Oktober gehou is waartydens die verkiesing plaasgevind het.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit het gevolg op twee mosies van wantroue, wat onderskeidelik teen die vorige speaker en uitvoerende burgemeester ingedien is. Albei mosies is aanvaar en was suksesvol om Hennie Smit en Elizabeth Sidego uit die amp te verwyder. Na afloop van die stemproses is die raadslid Petrus Heradien (ICOSA) as speaker van die raad verkies. Hy het in sy aanvaardingstoespraak ges\u00ea dit was \u2019n lang pad na vryheid, maar bygevoeg \u201cdie lyding het nou tot \u2019n einde gekom\u201d, lui die verklaring.<\/p>\n
Daarna is die raadslid Katriena Robyn (GOOD) as die nuwe uitvoerende burgemeester van die Witzenberg-raad verkies. <\/p>\n
\u201cDaar was geen benoeming vir die pos van uitvoerende burgemeester van die DA en koalisie nie. Robyn het in haar toespraak ges\u00ea die hooffokus vorentoe is op dienslewering, die hulpbehoewendebeleid en die bekamping van korrupsie. Sy het ook genoem dat \u2019n nuwe burgemeesterskomitee binnekort aangewys sal word. Die meeste van die politieke partye wat in die raad verteenwoordig is, het die nuutverkose speaker en uitvoerende burgemeester van die Witzenberg-raad gelukgewens en hul steun aan die nuwe regerende koalisie toeges\u00ea,\u201d word in die verklaring geskryf.<\/p>\n
Die DA het op sy beurt ook \u2019n verklaring oor die dag se gebeure vrygestel. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns het vandag gesien hoe die magsbehepte ANC-geleide koalisie die raad in Witzenberg met die hulp van Witzenberg Aksie oorneem. N\u00e1 verskeie mislukte pogings die afgelope paar maande het Witzenberg Aksie die ooreenkoms met die DA verbreek en die ANC en hul vennote in beheer van die Witzenberg-munisipaliteit geplaas.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie samewerkingsooreenkoms is in Augustus vir die oorblywende raadstermyn gesluit en in \u2019n persverklaring gedurende daardie tyd het die raadslid Gert Laban ges\u00ea die vertrouensverhouding met hul vorige vennote is verbreek. Hy het verder ges\u00ea hul rede om met die DA saam te werk is om stabiliteit in Witzenberg te bewerkstellig,\u201d lui die DA se verklaring.<\/p>\n
Hulle maak egter melding van teenstrydigheid en verseker ook die gemeenskap van die Witzenberg dat hul welstand steeds \u2019n prioriteit is.<\/p>\n
\u201cWat egter werklik afgespeel het, is in skrille teenstrydigheid met die aanvanklike ooreenkoms. Die DA is verbind tot goeie bestuur in belang van elke inwoner en weier om die knie te buig vir politieke opportunistiese druk wat munisipale prosesse omseil en \u2019n bespotting van die raad en inwoners se belang maak. Ons is verbind tot skoon regering en sal ons rol as opposisie ywerig en doeltreffend uitvoer. Enige onrealistiese beloftes en inmenging in administrasie sal deur die nodige munisipale en raadsprosesse aangespreek word. Die magsbeheptheid van individue wat hul eie belang voor di\u00e9 van inwoners stel, sal nie geduld word nie en ons sal aanhou veg vir Witzenberg.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie mense van Witzenberg verdien nie wat hulle vandag gekry het nie, maar ons verseker hulle dat hul welstand ons prioriteit bly en ons sal nie toelaat dat kansvatters Witzenberg tot hul eie voordeel ru\u00efneer nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die GOOD-party het die verkiesing van Robyn as Witzenberg-burgemeester verwelkom, wat nou die nuwe koalisie sal lei om die munisipaliteit \u201cskoon te maak\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrienie\u201d, soos sy in haar gemeenskap bekendstaan, bring \u2019n magdom ervaring na die pos n\u00e1 jare in plaaslike regering en sal ongetwyfeld uitstekende leierskap in Witzenberg bied,\u201d het die leierskorps in \u2019n persverklaring ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
\u201cSy het voorheen gedien as \u2019n burgemeesterskomiteelid, \u2019n onderburgemeester en die uitvoerende burgemeester.<\/p>\n
\u201cRobyn het deur die jare niks anders as toewyding en integriteit getoon in haar werk vir die mense van Ceres, Tulbagh, Wolseley, Op-die-Berg en Prins Alfred Hamlet nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
