In 2001 he joined the DA branch. In 2016, he was elected to the Overberg District Council.  He has also served as Chairperson of the Section 32 Fruitless and Wasteful Expenditure Committee, the Municipal Coastal Committee, as well as the Regional Waste Forum, and the Karwyderskraal Monitoring Committee.

Strength to you, Steven!

We encourage you to visit our association on the Xplorio platform here where you can access the minutes of our monthly committee meetings and keep up to date with projects and activities in the village.

I am sure that you have noticed that Computer Hut is busy installing fibre cables in Pearly Beach. According to their Operations Manager, the system should be installed and active within the next eight months.

Finally, may we take this opportunity of wishing you and your family every blessing this festive season. May joy, good health and prosperity be yours to enjoy in 2022. 

Affectionately
Shirley
