Kouga
This is Kouga Local Municipality’s first term under DA government. Their vision is good governance through service excellence.
Already, the Municipality is making headway with plans to replace the municipal vehicle fleet that it inherited from the previous administration, with one that works. Projects to upgrade tourist attractions and renewable energy plants are in the pipeline. Under DA governance, real change is on its way.
