It gives us great pleasure once again to engage you in this platform as we aspire to improve our communication platforms as it is a fact that being the public servant I am also at the coal face of service delivery.

The 2024/2025 Financial Year has left a critical yet historical mark in our history hence we scooped a prestigious award on best financial management.  All Directors including myself , are currently reviewing their departmental score cards in order to accelerate on service delivery as we have already kick started the first quarter of our 2025/ 2026 Financial Year. The signed performance agreement serve as a legislative instrument against our performance as Management as we are being measured by the Council. Confidently so, we would like to affirm that the municipality with all its well-oiled machinery is still committed on addressing the basic needs of our communities .With our capable well skilled capacitated human resource personnel,  our municipality is rated as being the one of the best performing   municipality in the province of KwaZulu Natal . Through this article, it is imperative to report that our 2024/2025 Budget was fully funded, and this is an indication that the municipality is financially viable.

Additionally, to fight the scourge of unemployment and poverty in the country, the municipality has created an enabling environment for the private sector to expand and attract investors .We are proud to welcome the second Boxer Super Store that is soon to be opened hence it permanently employs more than 50 people.

Finally, the municipality is working towards achieving Clean Audit Opinion during 2025/2026 financial year.

Till we meet again, stay blessed.

Dr. Christopher Andile Ngqoyiya
