The ANC in the Western Cape is to approach both the National Ministry of Cooperative Governance and the National Council of Provinces to set aside the dissolution of the Knysna Council.
Last week, Western Cape Minister of Local Government Anton Bredell announced plans to put the Knysna Municipality under administration after years of service delivery issues and allegations of financial mismanagement and corruption.
Knysna Mayor Thando Matika responded in a statement saying they disagreed with this course of action, as it was not in the best interest of the town or residents.
