Rape convict back as Kannaland mayor
Disgraced Kannaland mayor Jeffrey Donson is back after regaining his position as mayor of the municipality, thanks to the success of several motions of no confidence in the current leadership.
News24 reports that Donson, a convicted child rapist, was re-elected mayor of the municipality on Friday after his party, the Independent Civic Organisation of SA (Icosa) tabled a motion of no confidence against the current leadership at a special council sitting in Calitzdorp.
He and party members also tabled motions against the mayor, deputy mayor and municipal manager.
The new leadership consists of Keith Jordaan as the municipal manager, with Werner Meshoa regaining his position as the deputy mayor.
Four councillors from the Kannaland Independent party and the newly-formed Independent Civic Organisation of SA attended the special council sitting on Friday.
DA and ANC councillors didn't attend.
Donson was removed from his position in January after he and Meshoa, a convicted fraudster, were ousted in a motion of no confidence.
