Conservancies in the Greater Walkerville area teamed up with Midvaal municipality in a clean-up campaign targeting the R82, previously known as the Old Johannesburg / Vereeniging Road.

Although it is a Provincial Road, the increasing litter problem and the fact that Gautrans is not able to clean the area as often as the council would like, resulted in a need for action, said Executive Mayor, Timothy Nast.

About 900 refuse bags were filled and several truckloads of rubble were carted away.  Members of the conservancies tackled the challenge with help from the Local Community Policing Forum and local residents.

Staff from Midvaal’s Cleansing Department volunteered to assist, without claiming overtime. Nast said a combined community effort created a clean environment in quick time and thanked all those who participated.



 

Mkhuseli Radebe

Junior Mayor visits Germany

Midvaal’s Junior Mayor, Clr Mkhuseli Radebe, is one of a delegation of junior mayors, which forms part of an exchange programme with German towns and cities.

The delegation departed from O.R. Tambo International Airport recently and were hosted as guests of Schülerinnenkammer in Hamburg.

Midvaal’s Junior Mayor said he was thrilled by an opportunity to represent the local authority overseas.

“Being part of the Junior City Council has been a wonderful experience for me. Not only is it a platform for opportunities, but it has also enhanced my thinking abilities and has enlightened me in terms of knowing what really happens in politics, how our municipality operates and how the country functions on a political level.”

A Grade 12 pupil at Meyerton High School, Mkhuseli plans to study a degree in Corporate Communications after matric.



 

Netwerk in Riversdal word hersien

Die Midvaal Plaaslike Munisipaliteit is besig met die opgradering van die elektriese netwerk in die Riversdal gebied

Fase een wat bestaan uit die aankoop van ʼn gedeelte grond waarop ʼn 2 × 20 MVA substasie opgerig is, is reeds afgehandel.  'n Skakelstasie met 11kV skakeltuig is ook alreeds in 2008 opgerig. 

Fase twee van die projek bestaan uit die opgradering van die medium spanning 11kV kabel netwerk en is ook sowat 90% afgehandel. Die skakelstasie is reeds in bedryf gestel en word as een van die hoof toevoer punte in die Riversdal gebied gebruik.

Midvaal het ‘n aansoek aan Eskom gerig vir ‘n direkte aansluiting aan die nuwe substasie wat dan die final fase van die projek sal opmaak en ‘n meer betroubare elektreise netwerk sal verseker.

Op finaliseering van die aansoek aan Eskom sal Midvaal terugvoering aan die publiek gee.

Die opgradering van die elektriese netwerk in die Riversdal gebied is noodsaaklik vir die groei en ontwikkeling van die omgewing en sal Riversdal voorberei op toekomstige ontwikkeling asook om kragonderbrekings tot die minimum te beperk.

Midvaal Plaaslike Munisipaliteit beskou Riversdal as ʼn groeipunt en het derhalwe reeds sowat R8,06 miljoen bestee om die elektriese netwerk tot op ʼn aanvaarbare standaard te bring.
