ActionSA In Government Tracker Officially Launched To Highlight Governance Record In Tshwane

Today, ActionSA officially launched the ActionSA in Government Tracker to highlight the positive work Executive Mayor Dr. Nasiphi Moya and her multi-party coalition have undertaken since assuming office in October 2024.

The current administration inherited a city on the brink of collapse, with finances in disarray, townships deeply neglected and the previous coalition’s leading party more focused on political point-scoring than on fulfilling its mandate to deliver equitable services to the people of Tshwane.

This reality informed our decision to withdraw from that coalition and reconstitute a new administration under the leadership of Dr. Nasiphi Moya and her committed multi-party partners. While it remains early days, the successes achieved over the past few months are undeniable and signal that Tshwane has begun to turn a corner.

The Action in Government Tracker provides a transparent view of the progress made to date. Importantly, it also highlights areas still requiring improvement, enabling residents to hold this government to account — in a way that previous administrations never allowed.

The tracker is split into 5 key governance monitoring areas, namely:

Financial Stability – This administration inherited a City on the brink of bankruptcy. This government wants residents to understand that finances are a top priority by providing regular updates on the amount of revenue collected, as well as the current Eskom debt balance.

Infrastructure & Service Delivery – Here, the number of potholes repaired, percentage of potholes repaired within 7 days, percentage of power outages responded to in 24 hours, and percentage of water and sewage leaks responded to in 48 hours are all highlighted.

Economic Revitalisation – This section highlights the number of EPWP jobs have been created since the formation of this new administration.

Safe & Clean City – Here, the number of repaired street lights, regular grass cuttings, and communities receiving regular water and sanitation are tracked. This administration doesn’t believe in mere PR, but wants to provide residents with facts.

Governance & Customer Care – This section highlights the responsiveness of the City to resident’s concerns by tracking the time it takes to respond to service delivery query, as well as the number of public engagement events

There is a mountain still to climb to turn Tshwane around fully, but undeniable progress has been made by this new governing coalition.

Attempting to score political points and engaging in pure rhetoric results in murkiness, but facts and figures are undeniable and undebatable. These facts are shown by the ActionSA in Government Tracker without varnish.

ActionSA trusts that this will serve as a valuable resource that is freely and easily accessible for residents to monitor the steady progress being made in the Capital.
