Unanimous Council decision regarding geese

George Herald

The removal of the feral domestic geese within the Great Brak River Estuary is going ahead as planned.

- Linzetta Calitz

An item about the geese and other feral domestic species was unanimously passed in the open municipal council meeting on Thursday 25 September. When Speaker Venolea Fortuin opened the floor for any questions or discussions, she did not receive any from any of the councillors.

A task team will now compile a relocation plan for the geese with a timeframe, and suitable relocation areas and premises are to be identified.

After initially announcing the removal of the geese at the end of August, the Mossel Bay Municipality said on 4 September that the matter would be dealt with in Council.
