About Us

The Mayor's Message

Our municipality is seriously committed towards bringing a better life to all our people, hence our mission is that of providing quality services to our people in a very efficient manner. The expectations from our IDP, which is our business plan, will be implemented provided the good cooperation we have as politicians, administration and our people, is maintained throughout.

As we continue with our service delivery mission, we must be mindful of the fact that we are faced with numerous challenges and one of them requires that we reach out to people in rural/farm areas within our municipality.

Therefore, it is imperative that we continue to sacrifice and commit ourselves further towards making our municipality the best place that we all love to have.

Keep up the good work.

Masilela Petros Mhlonishwa Mayor,
