Bonginkosi Madikizela lied to us, claim frustrated Knysna residents
Residents of Hornlee in Knysna met on Thursday night to decide whether to resume their service delivery protests aimed at the municipality over the twin issues of land and housing being made available for backyard dwellers and the installation of prepaid water meters in their area.
Informed that the new Human Settlements MEC, Tertius Simmers, had visited Knysna on Wednesday and toured a number of housing developments in the area, Stander said: “We heard that the MEC was coming but we thought it was his predecessor, and so we stayed away from anywhere he might have gone.” They also want the land from which they were forcefully moved during apartheid returned to them and an increase in the number of houses the provincial government was planning to build in the area.
Willemse earlier said: “While there are certainly issues in Hornlee, it is an ongoing discussion. I’m all for engagement and I like to engage with all sectors of the community here in Knysna.”The mayor said that, “as the municipality, we are proud of the fact that we spend their entire housing budget every year”.
