Midvaal Local Municipality is making significant progress in the construction of the Lakeside Multipurpose Centre. The Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, conducted an oversight visit to the site to assess progress and ensure that the project remains on track. He was joined by Members of the Mayoral Committee and the Municipal Manager, Mr Phumudzo Magodi. During the visit, it was confirmed that major components of the development have been completed. The astroturf field, tennis courts, ablution facilities, and the 5-a-side football pitch have all been finalised. Construction work on the main hall has also been completed. Only minor outstanding works remain, including water connections to improve water pressure, as well as cosmetic finishes such as paving and landscaping.
The Municipality anticipates opening the Lakeside Multipurpose Centre in June 2026. Midvaal continues to invest in the development of recreational spaces, such as the multipurpose centre, for the benefit of our communities. Our vision is to nurture talent, promote healthy lifestyles, and provide safe, accessible spaces for our communities, especially the youth, to remain positively engaged and away from social ills.

Midvaal Local Municipality, in partnership with Soufflet Malt and Model Liquor Distributors, rolled out its annual Back-to-School Campaign to support learners as they begin the new academic year.
Over 120 pairs of school shoes, socks and dignity packs were donated to learners in need. The donations were distributed to Laerskool Voorwats, De Deur Primary School, and Randvaal Primary School. For many learners, a lack of essential items can negatively affect attendance and self-esteem. As a Municipality, we are committed to ensuring that learners remain motivated and are not discouraged from pursuing their education due to a lack of resources. Midvaal Local Municipality extends its appreciation to Soufflet Malt and Model Liquor Distributors for their support and commitment to making a positive impact in the community. The Municipality remains committed to partnerships that uplift the lives of Midvaal residents and provide support where it is most needed.
