Since taking office in October 2024, the Mayoral Committee has held weekly Service Delivery War Room sessions to focus on improving service delivery and tracking progress towards the 100-day Action Plan, including commitments made to Tshwane residents.
Today, the mayoral executive is pleased to report that our officials have been hard at work repairing street lights, eradicating water leaks and reducing power interruptions. Our streets are cleaner and our war against by-law infringement is showing positive results.
Highlights
– Our seven regional operations centres will have eradicated water leak backlogs by the end of December 2024, with an overall reduction of 1 689 leaks (87%) since the start of the 100-day Action Plan.
– On reducing electricity distribution issues – 90% of which are cable faults – we have seen an overall reduction of 35% and have already exceeded our 100-day Action Plan target with 7%.
– In terms of street lights, we had set a target of increasing the number of functional lights by 10%. So far, we have managed to repair and replace 9 471 street lights and restored 95 high-mast lights. Efforts will continue over the festive season, with a focus on vandalised high-mast lights as well.
– In terms of pothole repair backlogs, we have monitored a 77% reduction in the repair of reported potholes since the start of the 100-day Action Plan. Our officials have also worked to reduce the standard response time to potholes that must be completed within seven days. We are currently at 43% of that target.
– Backlogs of reported pothole repairs are expected to be cleared at the end of December 2024. We encourage residents to continue to report potholes as we work to improve the standard response time.
Substation maintenance
AI Substation in Soshanguve
AI Substation, which has experienced continuous outages for years, is undergoing maintenance work that will include replacing switchgears and overhauling transformers. The upgrades will be completed by the end of January 2025.
Rosslyn Substation and Njala-Waltloo Powerline
Other progress to substations includes upgrades to the Njala-Waltloo Powerline and efforts to stabilise the supply from Rosslyn Substation, which is critical to the Rosslyn business district. This R24 million Njala-Waltloo Powerline project is on track and is expected to be completed by the end of January 2025, while good progress is being made in Rosslyn.
We are encouraged by the performance we have seen and will continue to improve service delivery for all residents. Our #ReASpana weekly service delivery campaign has also criss-crossed most of the regions of Tshwane.
We have seen a difference in our communities as City of Tshwane officials have dedicated their time to cleaning and illuminating our streets and repairing our roads.
