KNYSNA NEWS - The municipality is making good on its promise to connect the houses to electricity before the end of this financial year.

Knysna United chair Reverend Ralph Stander said electricity was connected in the Park area in Hornlee last week. 

"Residents are happy that they have finally been connected. As from today, those who have been registered as indigent can go to the municipality to be connected without paying the connection fee," he said.

Stander said the Hall Street and swimming pool areas will be connected in the next two weeks.

"Knysna United was fighting for homes and electricity. Almost all the houses have been given down, but that's not enough yet because hundreds of people need homes. Our people also need land, the land that apartheid took from us," he said. 

Stander said they will continue to fight until they reach their goal and everyone's housing issues have been sorted out.
