Knysna Municipality spared from dissolution after NCOP's intervention

“The NCOP Select Committee has furthermore found that, in terms of the evidence provided by Councillors from Knysna Political Parties, Unions, external stakeholders (including KIG and the Business forum) and SALGA, it has become apparent that Knysna Municipality did not fail to perform its constitutional duties. I'm sure that most residents would disagree with this finding, and I hope that the residents of Knysna will understand that the Provincial Government's hands have now been tied. No intervention by the Provincial Government will be successful when the political parties making up the Knysna governing coalition, through the NCOP, effectively have a veto right.”
