Share
Cape Town - The DA in Knysna has rejected the appointment of a new director of Community Services for the municipality, claiming the new appointee, Sandile Ngqele, lacks senior managerial experience.
However, the ANC has disputed the claims and said the DA needed to go back to the drawing board and check their facts.
Knysna DA Constituency Head Dion George said Ngqeleâs appointment could result in a costly dispute for the municipality.
George said: âAt a Knysna Council meeting on April 29, the ANC and the KUC (Knysna Unity Congress) voted to appoint a director of Community Services despite councillors being presented with a report which found that the appointed candidate has three judgments and two defaults in a financial history screening report.
