“Cllr Haas was the ward councillor in ward 21, Polokwane. He was the longest serving DA councillor in the Polokwane caucus and served the town and its residents with unwavering dedication,” her statement reads.
Van der Walt notes that Haas ‘served the Polokwane Municipality as a councillor with great distinction since 2006’.
“He further served as the DA Polokwane caucus leader since 2011, where he continuously fought for service delivery and the improvement of the lives of residents. Cllr Haas was known as a successful businessman, a committed, hardworking and principled public representative and a generous, kind and caring husband and father,” she explains.
