Bitou Municipality will be implementing measures to reduce the food source available to baboons that are causing problems in the Plett South area.  This will cover the area from the intersection of Robberg/Lismore roads to Piesang Valley road and will reach as far as Daedalus Reef Drive on the seaward side.

The neighbours of the newly handed-over Ebeneezer Houses hugged, laughed, and posed for pictures with one another while accepting their houses. 

The houses were handed over by Bitou Executive Mayor, Councillor Claude Terblanche, and Deputy Mayor, Cllr Nokuzola Kolwapi. 

Bitou Municipality is thrilled to announce a momentous occasion in our community's history as we proudly handed over long-awaited title deeds to deserving recipients who have patiently awaited this crucial milestone.

The heartfelt ceremony was held at the Kranshoek Community Hall for residents who have tirelessly waited for the recognition of their property ownership rights.

Work is continuing at the Bitou Ebenezer Housing Project with the second tranche of beneficiaries moving into their homes today, 30 Jan. 24.

Today Bitou Municipality leadership handed over houses to 8 families from New Horizons- this is after 10 families moved in November last year.

The Bitou Municipality is determined to eradicate illegal dumping and calls on the public to become more involved.

Last week, the Integrated Waste Management Section of the municipality cleaned up an illegal dumpsite in Qolweni.

The group further educated residents about the dangers of illegal dumping.

More than a hundred Bitou residents received their long-awaited title deeds at the Simunye Community Hall this week. 

This Title Deed Outreach is part of Bitou’s accelerated plan to ensure that residents get their title deeds timeously.

By 2026 the Bitou hopes to hand over 5000 title deeds to property owners.

The Bitou Public Safety Officials and the South African Police Services ended Women’s Month on a high, holding a women- only roving roadblock. 

The roadblock not only focused on the full vehicle inspection, but also gave motorists information on GBV, emergency numbers and a SAPS victim support room used in Bitou. 

The two sites that the officials focused on were the N2 under the Plett Bridge and the Taxi rank in town. 

Traffic official, Xoliswa Siziba, said this was the second roadblock this month and as officers they wanted something motorists remember.
