George Budget Explained By Mayor, MMC and CFO

Issued George Municipality, 30 May 2025 @ 10:00

George Executive Mayor Alderman Jackie von Brandis, Chief Financial Officer, Riaan Du Plessis and Mayoral Committee Member for Financial Services, Alderman Iona Kritzinger, recently took part in an in-depth interview with Ilse Schoonraad at the George Herald’s online studio.

They spoke about the challenges the municipality faces when preparing the annual budget — especially balancing quality service delivery with the impact of South Africa’s tough economic climate.
