Inauguration of Eden Council
The capacity of Eden District Council was tested to its limit during the inauguration of their 35 councillors today (31 August) at the Council Chambers. Some visitors who attended the meeting had to stand in the hallway throughout the proceedings, as there was not enough space inside the chambers to accommodate the ever expanding gallery of people. There was much excitement when Memory Booysen, the former mayor of Bitou, was announced as Eden's new mayor. The new Eden Speaker is Mark Willemse, DA councillor of Knysna, and the Deputy Mayor is Rosina Ruiters, DA councillor of Mossel Bay.
