MESSAGE BY THE MUNICIPAL MANAGER
The report by the Auditor-General on
the 2008/09 financial statements is once again
testimony to the municipality's commitment to a
clean and transparent administration and the fact
that the municipality received an unqualified audit
report is an indication that the administration
continues on the right path. The municipality spent
close on 95% of its capital budget. This equates to
services for our community and is a significant
achievement in the country for this year under
review.
An important indication in our commitment to service
delivery is that, notwithstanding the recent
nationwide strikes for higher salaries, this
municipality remained clean and “untrashed” with no
interruption in services, unlike most other
municipalities.
The municipality remains committed to improve on its
excellent service delivery record. Initiatives to
sustain and improve on quality and affordable
services evolve constantly within the organisation.
The municipality has adopted a strong stance against
fraud and corruption with the approval of a
comprehensive policy in this regard and the
implementation of disciplinary measures to enforce
this directive. This policy has been extensively
workshopped throughout the organisation.
Improvements in the planning and monitoring of
performance in this financial year have also laid a
sound basis for the future performance of the
Midvaal Local Municipality and the organisation is
confident that it can pursue its vision and mission.
The most significant achievements are reflected in
the preface by our Executive Mayor. It is important
to note that these achievements were only possible
due to dynamic leadership, dedicated teamship and
plain hard work. |
