The Ngwathe Local Municipality leadership has reaffirmed its commitment to improving essential services for residents. Municipal Manager Dr. Futhuli P. Mothamaha, supported by Executive Mayor Victoria De Beer-Mthombeni, stated that providing reliable water, electricity, and waste management is fundamental to restoring public dignity. This focus has already resulted in significant infrastructure upgrades across various towns, including Parys, Koppies, and Vredefort.
Key achievements under Dr. Mothamaha's administration include installing new water pipelines, repairing street lighting, and extensively patching potholes. The municipality has also revived its traffic services department and acquired new fleet vehicles, such as refuse compactors and a honeysucker truck, which have reduced operational costs and improved response times.
Dr. Mothamaha acknowledged ongoing challenges like aging infrastructure and financial constraints. He emphasized that continued progress relies on a partnership with the community, encouraging residents to report faults and participate in municipal processes.
