Eleanore Bouw-Spies

Eleanore Bouw-Spies (née Bouw; born 9 July 1971) is a South African politician who has been a Member of Parliament for the Democratic Alliance since 2019. Quotes Being a part of the Greater Knysna Community for all of my life, I understand the community and have a good sense of the challenges the community faces on a daily basis. Knowing that working within council would help the broader community had a great deal to do with my decision to become a councillor during 2000. I am a representative of my constituents and their immediate needs. I serve as a facilitator of my community inputs and act as a communication link between council and my Ward 5 constituents. As mayor I must report to the municipal council on all decisions taken by myself and perform all duties and exercise powers as delegated by the council to me. With the municipality being an ever-evolving entity, there are times that I am recalled from my ward to attend to urgent council matters as mayor. This usually results in me having to make up for lost time, sometimes even over weekends External links Category:Living people
