Midvaal Local Municipality urges residents and prospective property buyers to exercise extreme caution regarding the advertising and sale of so-called “premium serviced stands” at the Honey Hills Estate Living Development situated along the R82.

This notice follows several enquiries received from members of the public seeking clarification on the status and legality of the development.

The Municipality wishes to make it clear that no municipal approvals have been granted for township establishment or any development authorising the sale of residential stands within the Honey Hills Estate Living Development. Consequently, the stands currently being marketed and offered for sale have not received the necessary municipal approvals and authorisations required by law.

Residents and potential purchasers are strongly advised not to purchase, reserve, make any payments towards, or enter into agreements relating to these stands until all statutory, regulatory and municipal approval processes have been completed and officially confirmed by Midvaal Local Municipality.

Purchasing property within an unapproved development may expose buyers to significant risks, including:

Financial loss and investment uncertainty

Delays in accessing municipal services

Challenges relating to land use rights and zoning compliance

Potential legal and regulatory implications

The Municipality encourages all prospective buyers to conduct thorough due diligence and to verify the approval status of any proposed development directly with the Development & Planning Department before committing to any property transaction.

Midvaal Local Municipality continues to make progress in improving road infrastructure through its ongoing War on Potholes campaign.

During the month of June, municipal teams repaired more than 1 900 potholes, covering a total area of 1 781,71 m², while maintaining an average weekly pothole closure rate of 83%.

The Municipality’s gravel road maintenance teams also attended to 25 roads, re-gravelling more than 21 kilometres of roadway to improve accessibility and driving conditions for residents.

In addition to pothole repairs, municipal teams have been hard at work enhancing road safety and the overall appearance of our communities by repainting stop signs, pedestrian crossings and speed humps, as well as restoring rusted road infrastructure.

These efforts are complemented by the work of other service delivery teams who conduct tree cutting, weed control, clear illegal dumping sites, and repair streetlights to improve visibility and safety at night.

Significant progress has been made on the rehabilitation of Boundary Road following extensive road failures that compromised sections of the roadway. Maintenance works aimed at restoring the structural integrity of the affected road section are currently 85% complete.

Another major road rehabilitation project currently underway is on Corrie Pypers Road in Golf Park. Teams found that Corrie Pypers has highly saturated and unstable ground conditions, needing additional remedial work.

Investigations revealed that the existing asphalt surface had been constructed directly on clayey subgrade with little to no supporting pavement layers. To address these challenges, dump rock has been installed to create a stable working platform and improve drainage. Construction of the new road layers is now underway.

Additional funding will be redirected to the project to accommodate the unforeseen site conditions and the expanded scope of work required.

The War on Potholes campaign remains ongoing, ensuring that Midvaal’s roads are safe and reliable.

Midvaal Local Municipality reflected on five years of service delivery, good governance, infrastructure investment and community development during the 2026 State of the Municipality Address (SOMA), delivered by Executive Mayor Alderman Peter Teixeira under the theme: “A Legacy of Service, A Future of Progress.”

The Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, highlighted the significant strides made by the municipality since 2021. All these achievements occurred despite a challenging economic climate marked by the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising service delivery demands and increasing pressure on municipal finances.

Over the past five years, Midvaal has maintained its reputation as one of South Africa’s best-performing municipalities. The municipality adopted fully funded budgets every year, managed budgets totalling more than R9.5 billion, generated over R176 million in investment interest and maintained an average collection rate of between 90% and 95%.

Midvaal’s commitment to sound financial governance has resulted in twelve consecutive clean audits and recognition as South Africa’s Most Financially Sustainable Municipality for three consecutive years by Ratings Afrika. The municipality has also received more than 40 awards and accolades during the current term of office.

Midvaal made significant investments to improve community safety. More than R18 million was invested in public safety initiatives, including the expansion of surveillance infrastructure to over 600 cameras across the municipality and the establishment of a specialised Law Enforcement Unit. Additional investments exceeding R30 million strengthened fire and emergency services, while over R60 million was allocated to enhance traffic management and road safety.

The municipality also prioritised economic empowerment and skills development. The opening of Midvaal’s first Skills Development Centre in 2025 has already empowered hundreds of residents through digital skills, construction, occupational health and safety and life skills training programmes. Midvaal further supported more than 600 businesses through targeted economic development initiatives and facilitated investments that strengthened the local economy and created employment opportunities.

Service delivery has remained at the core of the municipality’s work over the past five years. Midvaal invested more than R90 million in expanding its municipal fleet, enabling departments to respond more effectively to community needs. The municipality maintained uninterrupted refuse collection services across all formal and informal settlements and invested in parks, libraries, sports facilities and community amenities to improve residents’ quality of life.

Over R190 million was invested in roads and stormwater infrastructure over the Mayoral term, resulting in the upgrading of numerous roads, extensive pothole repairs and improvements of our road network across all communities. Significant investments were also made in electricity, water and sanitation infrastructure, including the construction of the Sicelo Substation, upgrades to sewer networks, water reservoir refurbishments and projects aimed at reducing water losses.

Midvaal’s social development programmes continued to deliver meaningful impact. Thousands of housing opportunities were facilitated through various human settlements projects, while more than 2 300 title deeds were transferred to beneficiaries. Support programmes for youth, women, persons with disabilities, older persons and vulnerable households expanded significantly during the term.

Innovation and digital transformation also featured prominently in the municipality’s achievements. The enhancement of the MyMidvaal App, website and WhatsApp Virtual Agent improved accessibility and responsiveness, while complaint resolution rates increased to 96%.

The municipality remains committed to building on the strong foundation laid over the past five years.

Yours in Service Excellence, Ald. Peter Teixeira
