Yesterday, ActionSA’s leadership continued its oversight visits to critical service delivery sites across the City of Tshwane that are earmarked for investment in Mayor Nasiphi Moya’s first budget, which is scheduled to be voted on next week. The findings from today’s visit once again highlight that the efforts of Dr Nasiphi Moya and her coalition team are beginning to bear fruit, as the growing body of evidence points to a steady turnaround in our capital city.
In September 2024, ActionSA leaders embarked on fact-finding missions to determine what had gone wrong in the City’s administration and to assess the extent of any remedial actions. A follow-up visit in March 2025 revealed encouraging progress on several issues identified previously, including sewage and water leakages, and the long-overdue upgrades to substations.
While these improvements were welcomed, it must be emphasised that administrations cannot only be evaluated on what they have fixed, but also on the new plans and priorities they bring forward.
The infrastructure assessed during today’s visit stands to benefit significantly from the capital allocations contained in the 2025/26 draft budget.
Olievenhoutbosch Clinic
This clinic is set to pilot an expanded operating hours project aimed at providing after-hours primary healthcare and medication services. At a cost of R3 million, this pilot follows a similar intervention led by President Herman Mashaba during his tenure as Mayor of Johannesburg (2016–2019), which was credited with saving hundreds of lives by enabling timely access to healthcare.
Eldoraigne Substation
A proposed R112.26 million investment into energy and electricity projects in this region includes the upgrading of the Eldoraigne Substation. This substation, like others in the area, recently caught fire—a result of years of neglect and failure to match growing electricity demand in Centurion. This investment will help stabilise electricity supply for local residents.
Centurion Customer Care Centre
This centre is among several that will benefit from a proposed R304 million allocation to the City’s Customer Relations Management Department. The 2025/26 budget proposes improvements to customer care centres, reduced waiting times, enhanced call centre efficiency, and the development of a digital platform for residents to log and track service delivery issues.
These proposed investments, among others outlined in the draft 2025/26 budget, represent the practical and people-centred changes that residents can expect from Mayor Moya’s first budget since assuming office. The budget underscores the administration’s commitment not only to delivering comprehensive social support but also to restoring and improving core infrastructure, and addressing the consequences of previous governance failures.
While this budget is not a silver bullet, today’s visit affirms that it will make meaningful strides in getting the basics right, driven by a government that is stringing together clear successes and delivering effective governance.
