Overstrand residents currently receiving or who may qualify to receive an indigent grant are called upon to verify their information before 31 December 2021.

As we are aware that current subsidy holders may have received the subsidy in contravention of the approved Indigent Policy, we want to create an opportunity where subsidy holders can come forward and voluntarily declare this without being penalised.

One of the conditions of the Policy is that residents who are owners of more than one property, or don’t reside on the property on which the subsidy has been approved, may have to repay the subsidy received, to the Municipality.

Overstrand Municipality’s recycling programme in Hermanus has been a long time coming since the previous materials recycling plant was destroyed during the riots in Hermanus in July 2018.

The new facility is now almost complete with final inspection planned for this Friday, 5 November 2021. The facility operator has been appointed and they are busy with their preparations and plan to start operating the facility from Monday, 8 November 2021 after the final inspection and sign-off by the consultants.

Council conferred the honorary title of Aldermanship to two councillors at a council meeting on 28 October 2021. The recipients are cllrs Elnora Gillion and Theodora Nqinata.

Councillors earn credits for each year that they served as a councillor and additional points are awarded for serving as a chairperson of a Ward Committee, The Mayoral Committee or time served as a Speaker, Executive Mayor or Executive Deputy Mayor.

Congratulations to Alderladies Gillion and Nqinata on this achievement.
