GEORGE GETS ID MAYOR IN 2009
George will get an ID mayor next year November. This is in accordance with a recent power sharing deal brokered between the DA and ID to form the current new alliance.
Flip de Swardt, the present DA mayor, revealed this after the mayoral executive Committee meeting held last week. At the meeting he likened the birth of the alliance to the birth of a baby where teething problems are to be expected.
The power sharing deal had come about following protracted negotiations held at secret locations within George. This followed after the DA alliance broke down and the DA no longer had the majority in Council.
WESTERN BYPASS
STRONG OPPOSITION
"The fight is not over. A western bypass is ludicrous." So says Michelle Behrens, a resident of the rural area around Blanco who is part of a group fiercely opposed to the proposed western bypass for George.
Controversy has surrounded this road - which will link the Outeniqua Pass with the N2 - from the outset of the environmental impact assessment process several years ago.
The process has progressed up to where the consultants, Arcus Gibb have come up with a number of possible alignments for the road which were introduced to the public during two open days held in George and Blanco last week.
TOP EUROPEANS IN SEARCH FOR 2010 BASE
During the last two weeks George had separate visits by two top European soccer officials, Markus Kindl (EMco-ordinator who represents various top teams in Europe) and Carsten Jaksch-Nink who was the Spanish team business organiser, in their search of a base camp for the 2010 Soccer World Cup. The Austrian and the German spent quality time in George and were very impressed with what they experienced. They both expressed that George has the right environment, accommodation, safety and security and relaxation, when needed, for a team to stay.
Visits to top hotels, EDM disaster control, George Traffic, Fire department, George Airport, Outeniqua Park, short/golf courses and the surrounding scenery added to what the town has to offer.
The generous contributions of the local businesses participating to contribute to the comfort of the visitors showed that George is ready to participate in the exciting 2010 event to come.

ESKOM EXPANSION
South Africa's beleaguered state power utility firm Eskom said on Monday it planned to double its spending to R343-billion to expand its capacity.
The company has struggled to meet growing demand for electricity and earlier this year was forced to introduce power rationing, which has hurt the economy.The spending would take place over the next five years to 2013, and more than doubles the previous five-year plan that had called for R150-billion in investments.Much of the increase was to take into account increased costs for buying equipment, an Eskom official told AFP."The figure was revised upwards to reflect current realities in the international market," the official said.
