MELODY Swartbooi has been withdrawn as Mayor of Keetmanshoop with immediate effect.
This was announced by Dawid Eigub, the Operative Secretary of the Landless People’s Movement (LPM), who confirmed that Swartbooi’s representation of the party on the Keetmanshoop Town Council has been revoked.
He added that the decision was made in terms of Section 13(1)(g) of the Local Authorities Act 23 of 1992, as amended, following careful consideration within the framework of the party’s constitution.
“The party expresses profound gratitude for your service to the people of Keetmanshoop during your tenure,” Eigub wrote in a letter addressed to Swartbooi.
