WORD OF WELCOME BY THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR
MUCH MORE THAN ONLY WHALE WATCHING
To provide municipal services to an area of more than 2125 km2 and look after the needs of more than the projected population of 73000 according to the 2001 Census is not an easy task, as the Overstrand Municipality’s Council of 19 and the personnel corps of about 1000 can attest to.
But we have set ourselves to even go beyond that and that is why our vision is to be a centre of excellence to our Communities, which include the towns of Hermanus, Gansbaai, Stanford, Kleinmond and many more seaside villages and townships.
Our mission is to deliver optimal services in support of sustainable economic, social and environmental goals and our strategic objectives are:
- To provide democratic and accountable governance;
- To provide and maintain municipal services;
- To manage and conserve our natural environment, our greatest asset;
- To create and maintain a safe and healthy environment; and
- To promote tourism, economic and rural development.

PUIK PRESTASIE VIR REGISTRASIEKLERK
Fandean Erasmus, of Rassie soos hy in die omgang bekend staan, is ‘n jong man wat graag geleenthede aangryp om homself verder te bekwaam. Tot nie te lank gelede nie, was hy ‘n buitewerker maar het toe ‘n aanstelling as bode by die Munisipaliteit Overstrand se registrasiekantoor aanvaar. Intussen is hy tot registrasieklerk bevorder en homself bewys as iemand met sterk potensiaal toe hy 94 persent behaal het in ‘n kursus wat deur die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Argief- en Rekorddienste aangebied is. Hier ontvang hy sy sertifikaat van Burgemeester Theo Beyleveldt, wat hom oor sy mooi prestasie aangeprys het, en die Munisipale Bestuurder, mnr Werner Zybrands.
