The City of Tshwane 2025/26 Adjustment Budget, passed in Council today, is a clear confirmation of the new administration’s commitment, under ActionSA Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya, to stabilize the City’s power network, address the loss of water and build internal capacity through the filling of critical vacancies and purchase of water tankers, while honouring its legal obligations.
The City of Tshwane has received official confirmation from National Treasury, that the 2025/26 Adjustment Budget remains funded, with an operating surplus of R1.2 billion.
According to the Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (MFMA), the adjustment budget forms part of the mid-term review, so as to ensure effective and efficient financial management that is aligned to deliverable key imperatives as contained in the five-year strategic Integrated Development Plan and the City’s recovery plan.
ActionSA is pleased to note an increase of R309 million to the capital budget, with R109 million allocated to Energy and Electricity, and R147 million for Water and Sanitation, of which R37 million is for the replacement of old water pipes, and R47 million for the upgrading of pump stations. Over and above this capital investment, an additional R15,2 million is being allocated for the City’s Water Loss Project, and an additional R15 million for the acquisition of water tankers.
To manage the tight budget, renewed focus will be placed on revenue collection as well as reducing electricity and water distribution losses by 2%. The discontinuation of City Cleansing Fee resulted in a loss of R277 million income, and employment related costs have increased by R749 million due to the filling of critical vacancies and 3,5% back-pay wage agreement, but this will not hinder service delivery.
Instead, based on the City’s half-year performance, revenue collection has been adjusted upwards for rent of land and fixed assets (R58 million), fines (R68 million), revenue collection (R27 million), interest earned from receivables (R115 million) and interest (R236 million).
ActionSA applauds the new administration, under ActionSA Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya, for efforts made in prioritizing both workers and residents, and for ensuring that the City’s budget remains funded, with operating surplus of R1.2 billion. We will not be intimidated by false narratives and fake outrage that seek to downplay progress made by the new administration, under ActionSA Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya, in fixing the Capital City.
