Feedback on TWK Municipality Council Meeting – 24 Jan’17

This was the first meeting of the 2017 year and the Executive Mayor welcomed all the new councillors wishing them well for the tasks ahead. She delivered a brief report, which she plans will become a regular feature of her administration. It is hoped that this will give an insight into what is being done and envisaged by her office and municipal administration. Copy of the Mayor’s Report can be found on the Ward 2 Forum website (Click here).

Here is the Ward 2 Forum feedback document on the meeting:

Report from TWK Executive Mayor

The Ward 2 Forum attends every Theewaterskloof Municipality Council meeting, in order to have first hand information of what is happening at our Municipality. It is the only organisation in our valley that does this.

At yesterday’s meeting it was announced that our Executive Mayor, Councillor Christelle Vosloo, will from now on regularly produce an informative report on what is happening in the TWKM area. The W2F welcomes and supports this initiative.
