With political and administrative leaders taking personal responsibility for their roles and society, we will see the difference in improved care.

SAVING THE TAX PAYER MONEY

The uMngeni Municipality has acquired 18 vehicles which were previously on a lease agreement. Total value 3.1 mil

Through this action we are saving local rate payers R200 000.00 a month (R2.4 million a year).

@mikeyab6872 Baie geluk met jul navorsing Albert!

[Kobus Wessels @kobuswes]

A municipality not providing water to its residents, certainly does not care for its residents and is thus inauthentic - a municipality in name and not in essence.

[Richard Spoor @Richard_Spoor]

Once a municipality stops providing water it loses all authority and influence over residents. Of course they will stop paying rates and taxes. What is the municipality going to do? Cut off their water?

@ZeldalaGrangeSA @twkmun Exactly!

[Kobus Wessels @kobuswes]

@DianriWessels We have to learn to verify all information, and question everything social media stars tell us.

@ZeldalaGrangeSA Verruklik mooi!

[Kobus Wessels @kobuswes]

@helenzille The language of an ethical leader!

[Kobus Wessels @kobuswes]

I fully agree. As residents we need to take up the responsibility for our own environment.

[Tshwane Coalition @tshwane_mayor]

Clean-up campaigns like this one in Atteridgeville are great initiatives that will hopefully inspire other residents to keep their communities clean and stop littering. The City cannot do it alone, we must all work to keep Tshwane clean. @CilliersB @CityTshwane

[Kobus Wessels @kobuswes]

Committed and professional officials are crucial for service delivery.

[Tshwane Coalition @tshwane_mayor]

It is a difficult time for the Tshwane metro, but the city has thousands of honest and hardworking officials. The city manager and I want to wish our officials a happy Workers Day. Let’s take hands to build a capital city that works for all its people. #WorkersDay2023
