Midvaal Local Municipality has officially established and appointed the Local Drug Action Committee (LDAC) as part of its continued commitment to combating the growing scourge of substance abuse within local communities. In line with Chapter 10, Section 60 of the Prevention of and Treatment for Substance Abuse Act (Act 70 of 2008), municipalities are mandated to form Local Drug Action Committees to coordinate and implement community-based responses to substance abuse. The Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, joined by the Members of the Mayoral Committee, formally appointed the committee during a special ceremony held to mark this significant milestone. The LDAC will consist of representatives from government departments, non-profit organisations, law enforcement, and other community stakeholders.
Its mandate is to develop, implement, and monitor local drug strategies; coordinate prevention and rehabilitation initiatives; and support individuals and families affected by substance dependency.
During his address, Executive Mayor Teixeira described the establishment of the Committee as both a legislative requirement and a moral obligation. “Too many lives depend on the success of this initiative. It must not become a tick-box exercise but a living, functioning structure that gives hope to those trapped in addiction” he said. As a caring and compassionate institution, Midvaal Municipality pledges its full support as we work to build a drug-free Midvaal.

ISSUED ON BEHALF OF THE OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR:

Yours in Service Excellence, Ald. Peter Teixeira

Midvaal Local Municipality has once again demonstrated excellence in governance and financial management, receiving three awards at the National Good Governance Awards. The awards were hosted by the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) as part of the annual Local Government Indaba (LGA). Midvaal was honoured with an Outstanding Achievement Award for achieving clean audits and adopting funded budgets for ten years or more. The municipality also received an outstanding achievement for receiving clean audits for more than ten consecutive years.

In addition, Midvaal was awarded a Certificate for achieving a clean audit outcome for the 2023–2024 financial year. These awards reaffirm the municipality’s commitment to financial accountability and responsible fiscal planning. They also demonstrate that, despite recurring poor audit outcomes in many municipalities, sound financial management and ethical leadership are possible in local government.
The Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, once again recognised the collaborative efforts of municipal workers, public representatives, and the broader Midvaal community. He stated, “None of these accolades would be possible without the continued efforts of our dedicated workforce, the political oversight provided by public representatives, and the support of our communities. Good governance is possible when you appoint qualified and fit-for-purpose individuals to occupy positions, and when public representatives have the political will to turn things around and make municipalities work.” Midvaal will continue to uphold the highest standards and remain a beacon of good governance and excellent service delivery.
