On Friday December 12, The City of Matlosana experienced a busy and productive day of civic action, with Executive Mayor Hon. Councillor Fikile Mahlophe focusing on two major initiatives: the official reception of a significant new municipal fleet and personally joining the ongoing "Love Your Street and Safer Festive Campaign" activities. Both efforts are designed to aggressively improve service delivery and ensure a clean and secure environment for residents and visitors during the holiday season.
New Fleet Acquisition Set to Accelerate Service Delivery
Mayor Mahlophe officially received a newly procured fleet of state-of-the-art vehicles and equipment for the municipality. This crucial acquisition addresses long-standing equipment shortages that have hindered the City's ability to perform its duties effectively.
“The procurement and acquisition of this new state-of-the-art fleet is an important step as it will help us accelerate service delivery as a municipality," stated Mayor Mahlophe. "Quite often we are unable to effectively do our work due to a shortage of equipment and vehicles and this new fleet are necessary tools of trade in advancing our core mission.”
The new fleet will be distributed across key departments to enhance operational capacity:
Department | New Equipment | Purpose |
Community Services | 2 Tractors, 2 TLBs (Tractor-Loader-Backhoes), 2 Roll-on and Skip Trucks | Crucial assistance with refuse removal and general municipal maintenance. |
Public Safety | 1 Firetruck, 1 Land Cruiser | Enhancing emergency response capabilities and general safety enforcement. |
Electrical Department | 3 Ford Rangers, 1 Transit Combi | Boosting maintenance and repair capacity; Combi for testing and technical work. |
Water Department | 2 Ford Rangers | Improving rapid response to water leaks and infrastructure issues. |
Security Department | 1 Bakkie | Supporting security operations across the municipality. |
Corporate Services | 1 Bakkie | Assisting in administrative and logistical support functions. |
Mayor Mahlophe Joins Ongoing "Love Your Street" Campaign
In a demonstration of direct involvement and support for municipal workers, Mayor Mahlophe, along with several Members of the Mayoral Committee (MMCs) and local figures, personally participated in the cleaning efforts as part of the Love Your Street and Safer Festive Campaign, which is currently in progress across the city.
Mayor Mahlophe was joined by MMC for Community Services Clr Kgositsile Seitshiro, MMC for Local Economic Development Clr Wesley Kgang, and PR Clr Lebogang Itebogeng, as they busied themselves clearing litter along the N12 road.
They were further joined by several prominent local figures, including soccer legends Eric September, Gert Schalkwyk, and Dino Ndlovu, as well as stakeholders from the private security industry. The involvement of these diverse groups underscores a unified commitment to civic pride and public safety.
The Mayor expressed his strong desire that "visitors and locals alike will enjoy the hospitality of Matlosana in a clean and healthy environment."
By combining infrastructural investment with direct civic action, the City of Matlosana is demonstrating a clear commitment to improving the quality of life and service delivery for its citizens.
