Plettenberg Bay and Knysna were honoured during the Western Cape Govan Mbeki Awards on Friday, September 23.
The competition was established by the Department of Human Settlements in 2006 to honour local councils for exhibiting best practices in the human settlements sector and to create healthy competition.
Plettenberg Bay’s Bitou municipality secured the award for the best informal settlement upgrade programme, while Oudtshoorn and Knysna municipalities were announced as first and second runners-up respectively.
The provincial winners will represent the Western Cape in the national Govan Mbeki Awards in November 2016.
