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. The municipality encourages residents to watch the interview to better understand the decisions behind the budget and how it affects service delivery.
