Midvaal Local Municipality is proud to announce the achievement of its 12th consecutive clean audit for the 2024/25 financial year, reaffirming our position as one of South Africa’s most accountable and well-governed municipalities.

The municipality was once again audited on its financial statements, annual performance report, and compliance with legislation. This includes, among other things, annual financial statements, performance reports, and annual reports, as well as procurement and contract management, revenue management, and asset management.

The clean audit demonstrates Midvaal’s dedication to strong financial management, accountability, and effective oversight. The Auditor-General praised the municipality for spending 97% of its budget and achieving 89% of the service delivery targets, which is an improvement from the previous year’s achievement of 65%. The municipality is also spending enough to maintain the infrastructure to ensure sustainable and continuous service delivery in the Midvaal region. The Auditor-General also praised the strong culture of accountability through the implementation of consequence management.

In the 2023/2024 financial year, the Auditor-General urged the municipality to reduce water and electricity losses. Strengthen debtor collection to improve financial sustainability and tighten Supply Chain Management and financial management processes to prevent and address Unauthorised, Irregular, Fruitless, and Wasteful Expenditure (UIFW).

Midvaal implemented several projects in 2024/25, including replacing ageing water infrastructure, repairing leaks, and penalising illegal connections.

The municipality also converted all electricity meters to TID, bringing electricity losses down to 7.28%, which is below the national norm. The municipality is also intensifying revenue collection through prepaid meter conversions, stricter credit control, disconnections for non-paying businesses, and appointing debt collectors. The Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC) has strengthened consequence management, fast-tracked UIFW-related investigations, and improved oversight.

The clean audit is not just a paper exercise; it demonstrates a municipality committed to financial discipline, ensuring that every rand of public money is used to improve service delivery and uplift our communities.

Midvaal will continue to work to ensure that these clean audits continue to translate into tangible service delivery that every resident can see, feel, and touch.

Midvaal Local Municipality has invested over R8 million in the construction of new trading stalls aimed at empowering informal traders and restoring dignity to their daily operations. The project includes the construction of 34 trading stalls, an ablution block, and an administrative office. Each stall is equipped with water and electricity points and can be securely locked to safeguard he traders’ goods after hours.
The construction of these stalls not only restores dignity for the informal traders but will also significantly improve the trading environment in the Central Business District. For years, informal traders operated under harsh conditions without permanent structures, leaving them vulnerable to weather conditions that often forced them to close down, often resulting in loss of income. Informal traders play a critical role in the economy, as they provide not only an income to owners but also create employment opportunities. Midvaal will continue to support this sector to ensure that the informal traders operate in a conducive environment that enables them to thrive.

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.
