Council to the people

On Tuesday, 26 September 2023, the Richtersveld Municipality, with Mayor Cornell Knoph and the Council, conducted a Mayoral Imbizo at Sizamile Clinic Hall, Port Nolloth. The purpose of this outreach was to give Ward 3 an opportunity to voice any concerns they might have. The outreach also meant to close the gap between government and people by bringing other sector departments to present their plans set to uplift the communities. The mayor Cornell Knoph say, he is satisfied with the attendance and outcome urging the community to take part in council outreach and to own their infrastructure aswell as protect it against vandalism and theft. The Richtersveld municipality have been and is still faced with serious infrastructure damage after heavy rains recently destroyed roads including their current upgrade of the bulk water supply.
