POLITICAL NEWS - Knysna Council is set to meet tomorrow, Thursday 6 June, to consider another urgent directive from Western Cape Minister of Local Government and Environmental Affairs, Anton Bredell.

Bredell again wrote a letter to Council on 30 May calling for it to “voluntarily adopt” a Consolidated Executive Obligations Monitoring and Enforcement Framework (CEOMEF plan) to fix service delivery issues in the town, involving waste management, wastewater treatment and pollution.

He gave Council a deadline of five working days within which to adopt the plan.

According to a Knysna municipal spokesperson, an official notice of the meeting is yet to be sent out.
The CEOMEF document contains significant budgetary implications for the municipality.

In his letter dated 30 May, Bredell strongly recommended that the council voluntarily adopt the CEOMEF plan.

“If, in the circumstances of this matter, the allocated timeframes for the actions to be performed in terms of the CEOMEF are unable to be adhered to by the municipality due to budgetary or capacity constraints, these timeframes for completion may be adjusted by mutual agreement.
