Western Cape Minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs, and Development Planning, Anton Bredell, has initiated an inquiry into allegations of misconduct among various councillors within the Knysna Local Municipality. This action follows a Western Cape High Court ruling on November 25th, 2022, in which several councillors were accused of serious wrongdoing, including the creation of unlawful positions within the municipality’s office of political office bearers, appointment of individuals to these positions, and the approval of payment for them.
