KNYSNA NEWS - The conclusion of a tumultuous and chaotic special council meeting at the Knysna Council chambers this evening has ended with an approved 2018/2019 budget, but also with the ousting of now ex-mayor, Eleanore Bouw-Spies.
Mark Willemse from the DA was unanimously voted in as the new executive mayor of Knysna, with COPE member Ricky van Aswegen as his deputy.
Bouw-Spies and the rest of the DA, excluding Willemse and former deputy mayor Peter Myers, walked out of the meeting right before a motion of no confidence was set to serve in council, brought on by the ANC.
