The ANC, EFF, ActionSA, ACDP, AIC, DOP, PA, PAC, ATM, and GOOD – commend the City of Tshwane for the significant progress made in its first 100 days under the leadership of the multi-party coalition government. This milestone reflects a firm commitment to service delivery, financial stability, and the restoration of good governance.
On 30 October 2024, the Mayoral Committee outlined a six-pillar 100-day action plan aimed at addressing key challenges in the city. Today, we acknowledge the tangible improvements made and encourage the continued pursuit of long-term solutions that will ensure a stable and prosperous capital city.
Progress in Service Delivery and Infrastructure
The coalition parties commend the City’s efforts to improve service delivery, which has resulted in:
– The repair of over 21,000 streetlights and the restoration of 291 high-mast lights, significantly improving safety and visibility across Tshwane.
– The repair of 687 out of 692 potholes, addressing a longstanding backlog and improving road conditions.
– The clearing of 747 illegal dumping sites and the issuance of 198 fines to deter future violations, contributing to a cleaner city.
Addressing the Water Crisis in Hammanskraal
The coalition parties acknowledge the critical progress made in resolving the longstanding water crisis in Hammanskraal. The completion of Phase 1 of the Magalies Klipdrift Water Treatment Plant now provides 12.5 megalitres of clean drinking water to four wards, with further upgrades at Rooiwal Water Treatment Works currently underway.
Financial Stabilisation and Recovery
Tshwane’s financial recovery remains a key focus, and the coalition parties recognise the City’s efforts in:
– Surpassing the target of R50 million in monthly cash reserves, with reserves reaching R368 million by January 2025.
– Meeting 90% of its revenue collection improvement target through enhanced billing accuracy.
– Improving Tshwane’s liquidity outlook from 0.57 in October 2024 to 0.81 in January 2025, setting the City on a path to financial stability.
Enhancing Law Enforcement and Governance
The City’s commitment to restoring law and order has been evident through intensified enforcement of municipal by-laws. Since October, 16 successful operations have led to:
– 1,000 non-compliant businesses being fined and 18 illegal businesses shut down.
– Over 1,018 spaza shops inspected for compliance.
– The apprehension of undocumented individuals as part of law enforcement efforts.
Driving Economic Development
Economic revitalisation remains a priority, and the coalition parties welcome the establishment of the Mayoral Sub-Committee on Bad Buildings, which seeks to unlock investment and address urban decay. A key achievement includes the handover of Schubart Park to the Tsoseletso Consortium, which has committed over R1 billion to transform the area into a vibrant mixed-use development, creating jobs and economic opportunities.
A Collective Commitment to Progress
The coalition parties recognise the dedication of City officials and all stakeholders who have worked tirelessly to implement these improvements. While there is still much to be done, the achievements of the first 100 days set a strong foundation for further progress.
As coalition partners, we remain committed to ensuring that Tshwane continues on a path of sustainable development, good governance, and service excellence. We will continue to work together in the interests of all residents to build a capital city that is responsive, inclusive, and forward-looking.
We thank the residents of Tshwane for their trust and support and reaffirm our commitment to working towards a city that delivers on its promises.
