On Monday, 2 September 2024, Minister Ricardo Mackenzie of the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS) held an informal meeting with Rachel Williams, Manager of Library Services in George.

Braving the cold weather, Executive Mayor Jackie von Brandis, George Municipal Councillors, beneficiaries, community members, and officials, gathered to celebrate the new homeowners during the joyous housing handover at Erf 325.
Songs of praise and jubilation filled the air on Wednesday, 28 August 2024, as 78 families received the keys to their new homes during an official housing handover ceremony at the Erf 325 East Housing Development in Rosedale, Pacaltsdorp. Despite the cold weather, the event was marked by celebration, with Breaking New Ground (BNG) beneficiaries and community members gathering to support the new homeowners.
The Executive Mayor of George, Alderman Jackie von Brandis, led the handover of the houses to the 78 beneficiaries, joined by the Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Human Settlements in the George Municipality, Jean Safers, and Ward 14 Councillor, Melvin Roelfse, who served as the programme director. The ceremony was also attended by MMCs from various portfolio committees, councillors, municipal officials, Ward Committee members, and home-based care workers.
Mayor von Brandis officially marked the handover by cutting the ribbon at one of the houses. Addressing the attendees, she expressed the urgency felt by citizens in receiving their homes. She thanked everyone involved in the construction and administration of the houses, saying, “Thank you for coming out in this cold weather to celebrate this beautiful day. My first conversation with Minister Tertuis Simmers (Western Cape Minister for Human Settlements) was about housing, especially the houses that were already completed. When I suggested we hand them over, the Minister agreed immediately, even if he couldn’t be here today. We thank the Minister for his great leadership and the Provincial Government for the funding that made this possible.”
She continued, “I also want to thank Councillor Safers, the MMC for Human Settlements in George, and the George Municipality’s Human Settlements department for their administration. I’m overjoyed for the beneficiaries that we could all celebrate the receipt of these houses; this is indeed a joyous occasion.”
The first house was handed over to 40-year-old Caroline Booysen, who is living with a disability. Booysen expressed her gratitude, saying, “I couldn’t contain my tears—they’ve been rolling down from excitement and joy. I’m very grateful for my new house.”
Among the beneficiaries were also elderly citizens. Eighty-year-old Nofundile Jaxa shared, “I’m ecstatic to receive a home. When I heard I would finally be receiving my house today, I couldn’t sleep last night, looking forward to this moment.” Another recipient, 73-year-old David Louw, was overjoyed, saying, “I’ve waited nearly 20 years for my house. Today, I almost want to shed tears of joy for receiving this home. I’m very happy.”
MMC for Human Settlements, Councillor Jean Safers, remarked, “This is another milestone that shows the Western Cape Government means business when it comes to service delivery. We urge new homeowners to take good care of their properties and keep them clean. We also don’t want to hear that these houses have turned into spaza shops.”
Officials from the George Municipality’s Human Settlements department conducted a consumer education programme to guide the new homeowners about the responsibilities of a homeowner and how to care for their properties. As they received their homes, 16 beneficiaries received their title deeds. The remaining 62 will be handed over as soon as it is received from the Attorneys. The 78 families who received their houses today came from various informal settlements in Pacaltsdorp, the waiting list under the selection criteria of 60 years and older, farm dwellers, persons with disabilities, and the general waiting list.
The Erf 325 East Pacaltsdorp Housing Project is a catalytic initiative funded by the Provincial Department of Infrastructure. This mixed-use development, which began in 2018, is part of the 1,091 Breaking New Ground (BNG) units, including double-storey, semi-detached, and freestanding units. It also comprises 147 Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Programme (FLISP) units, 32 units for persons with disabilities, and 30 units for military veterans. The project will also provide one general residential erf, four crèches, three churches, one community centre, and seven commercial/business erven.

Democracy Bus visits George…From left: Andre Scheepers (BFI Projects Manager in the George Municipality, Ald Jackie von Brandis (Executive Mayor), Cllr Browen Johnson (MMC for Civil Engineering in the George Municipality), Jethro Grootboom (Regional Communication Coordinator for Garden Route & Overberg Districts and Ndiphiwe Prince Madikizela (Technician for BFI Projects in the George Municipality).
On Thursday, 15 August 2024, the Democracy Bus, which travels across South Africa to celebrate 30 years of democracy, made a significant stop in George. The bus visited one of George Municipality’s key infrastructural projects—the construction of the new Water Treatment Works in Denneoord—to showcase the municipality’s contributions to the nation’s democratic journey.
The Executive Mayor of George, Ald Jackie von Brandis, accompanied by the Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Civil Engineering Services, Councillor Browen Johnson, boarded the Democracy Bus from the Municipal Headquarters in York Street. The destination was the New Water Treatment Works in Denneoord, where they participated in a walkabout to highlight the Municipality’s achievements over the past 30 years. The event was organised by the Government Communication Information System (GCIS), represented by Jethro Grootboom, Regional Communications Coordinator for the Garden Route & Overberg Districts.
“This afternoon, we had the distinct pleasure of boarding the Democracy Bus alongside our colleagues from GCIS Western Cape,” said Mayor von Brandis. “As we celebrate our country’s 30-year milestone of democracy, we also reflect on the freedoms and progress that have accompanied it.”
Referring to the BFI project, von Brandis added: “This project is a prime example of the benefits that 30 years of democracy have brought us. It’s an absolute privilege to have the Democracy Bus here in George, celebrating 30 years of Democracy. The National Treasury and the Department of Water Affairs (DWS)support ensures that we can continue to provide essential services to all our residents for the next 30 years and beyond.”
MMC Johnson echoed the Mayor’s gratitude for the BFI Projects, emphasising the projects’ significance in light of recent Stats SA data showing an approximate population growth of 100,000 in the City of George. “These projects are vital for accommodating George’s ongoing development and ensuring water security for at least the next 40 years,” said Cllr Johnson.
The Municipality’s Civil Engineering Services Project Manager for BFI, Andre Scheepers, provided an in-depth overview of BFI project consisting of 12 sub-projects and specifically the New Water Treatment Works Project. This project, supported by a grant of up to R1.115 billion, has enabled the Municipality to undertake several critical initiatives, including:
• Improvements to the existing 20 Ml/d Water Treatment Works in Denneoord
• The new 20 Ml/d Water Treatment Works (WTW) and Residuals Treatment Facility
• Refurbishment of the Sludge Discharge System, Phase 1 and 2
• Upgrading of the Garden Route Dam Outlet and Supply
• Installation of 2x 1250 kVA generators at the Garden Route raw water pump station
• Construction of an additional 40-million-litre raw water storage and balancing dam
• The 14.5 Ml Pacaltsdorp West Reservoir and Pump Station
• The new 3 Ml Pacaltsdorp East Reservoir, 300 kl Tower, and Pump Station
• Construction of a new pump station and control valves at the existing Thembalethu West Reservoir and Tower
• A new 8 Ml Thembalethu East Reservoir, 1000 kl Tower, and Pump Station
Jethro Grootboom expressed his gratitude to the George Municipality for its hospitality and commitment to showcasing the progress achieved in the George area.
The George Municipality extends its thanks to the National Treasury and the Department of Water and Sanitation for entrusting it with this grant funding, and to GCIS for organising the visit to our Water Treatment Plant. The event was streamed live on Eden FM’s Facebook page, courtesy of GCIS.
