Midvaal Local Municipality is set to begin the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) public engagement meetings on Tuesday, 7 October 2025. These meetings will allow residents to engage with the municipality regarding the development and service delivery priorities in their areas. These engagements are a vital part of the municipality’s strategy, budget allocations, and development plans. The municipality conducts these engagements to ensure that planning is aligned with the needs of the community and that the budget is prepared accordingly. The IDP public engagements also align with and adhere to Section 29(1)(b)(ii) of the Municipal  Systems Act, 2000, which mandates consultation with the local community regarding its development needs and priorities and encourages participation in the drafting of the IDP.

The Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, along with the Speaker of Council, the Mayoral Committee, Councillors, the Municipal Manager, and Heads of Departments, will be present to listen to the inputs and concerns raised by the community.

As part of the economic revitalisation strategy, Midvaal Local Municipality engaged with businesses operating in the Meyerton Central Business District (CBD).

The engagement was intended to strengthen relations with business owners operating in the CBD and to urge them to invest in the local value chain by buying and hiring locally.

The discussion also focused on innovative ways to improve service delivery and safety, uplift the town’s appearance, and reduce red tape to make it easier to conduct business in Midvaal.

Since the opening of the Riverstone Mall, there have been concerns regarding the sustainability of foot traffic to the CBD.

The Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, and Members of the Mayoral Committee held the engagement to quell any misconceptions.

The municipality continues to invest significantly in the CBD, as seen through the construction of trading stalls in the Meyerton CBD near the taxi rank.

The municipality recently completed the upgrade of the east side of Station Road and Diens Avenue from gravel to tar, along with the construction of a sidewalk with parklets and the installation of a traffic circle. This was done to allow Sicelo and the surrounding areas easier access to the CBD.

The municipality also rehabilitated Johan Le Roux to ensure ease of movement for goods and services.

Midvaal has several projects and initiatives underway in our ongoing efforts to revitalise our town.

Through these continued engagements and infrastructure investments, Midvaal reaffirms its commitment to creating a thriving, inclusive local economy.

The Municipality remains focused on building a business-friendly environment that supports growth, sustainability, and local empowerment.

Midvaal Local Municipality has unanimously approved the 2025/2026 Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure Framework (MTREF) and Integrated Development Plan.

Midvaal Municipality is one of the few municipalities in Gauteng to approve a fully funded budget.

The MTREF comprises of a 3-year plan for 2025/2026, 2026/2027 and 2027/2028.

Both the Draft IDP and MTREF come after months of consultations with various communities and stakeholders across the municipality.

This R2 billion 2025/2026 MTREF was drafted with careful consideration of the challenging economic climate facing the people of Midvaal, as well as the wider challenges faced by South Africa.

It showcases a government that prioritises the well-being and interests of its residents.

The MTREF budget is credible, effective, efficient, realistic and fully funded.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE KEY ASPECTS OF THE BUDGET:

Operational Budget

The Revenue Budgeted for the year is R2.126 billion. This represents an increase of 9.79% over the current year’s budgeted revenue.

The Tariff Increases for assessment rates, water and refuse collection are 7%, Sanitation 6% and electricity 12.7%, subject to NERSA approval.

The Expenditure Budget for the year is R2.111 billion. This is an increase of 11.86% on the current year’s budgeted expenditure.

The major cost driver on the expenditure side has been the proposed increase in tariffs from Eskom, which is at 12.7%.

The salary budget accounts for 23% of expenditure, with a 5.01% provision for an increase

Repairs and maintenance as a percentage of total expenditure is 10.80% and is well within the prescribed 8% of the Property, Plant and Equipment.

KEY SERVICE DELIVERY PROJECTS FOR THE 2025/2026 FINANCIAL YEAR

The municipality has allocated R69 million to replace old asbestos pipes using the Water Services Infrastructure Grant (WSIG). This will reduce water losses, improve revenue generation, and strengthen the efficiency of our water management systems.

The municipality is continuing with Phase 3 of the electrification of Sicelo in Extension 5 (Silahliwe). In previous budgets, we allocated funding for Phases 1 and 2 in Kuvukiland and Stand 118.

We have also allocated R26 million for the construction of a substation in Savanna City, which will increase electricity capacity to support future housing developments.

R27 million has been set aside in the 2024/25 budget from loan finance for road rehabilitation and the conversion of gravel roads to tar. A further R22 million is allocated in the 2025/26 financial year to continue with rehabilitation and gravel-to-tar upgrades.

The municipality has procured two high-speed vehicles for crime prevention purposes. We have made provision for the employment of Law Enforcement Officers who will drive these high-speed vehicles, working alongside our CCTV cameras and other safety mechanisms to curb criminal activities in our municipality. CCTV cameras are being rolled out in the Western and Northern regions, while a significant portion of the budget is being used to maintain existing cameras.

The municipality will give rebates of 25% and 50% on property rates. The threshold for qualification has been extended to five times the value of the SASSA Old Age Pension Grant, which equates to approximately R11,000.

Through this budget and the pursuit of the IDP, we are confident that we will continue providing excellent service delivery.

Midvaal will create an environment conducive to investment, growth and opportunities whilst making significant strides in improving the lives of our residents.
