MIDVAAL COMPLETES R18 MILLION ELECTRIFICATION PROJECT, BRINGING ELECTRICITY TO OVER 1,200 SICELO HOUSEHOLDS

Posted on by midvaal_marketing1

Midvaal Local Municipality has completed the electrification of over 1,200 households in Sicelo, at a cost of over R18 million.

This multi-year and phased project began in 2023 and was completed in June 2025.

The project involved the construction of an 11 kV (MV) and a 420 V (LV) overhead network.

Additionally, the project included overhead house connections as well as the installation of meters and ready boards.

A total of 1,228 electricity connections were completed across four phases: 474 in Phase 1, 321 in Phase 2, 98 in Phase 3, and 335 in Phase 4.

Residents now have access to much-needed electricity, uplifting the community by ensuring a safe and reliable power supply.

Due to the established electrical infrastructure, illegal connections were removed in the area, reducing the risk of electrocution from unsafe connections.

The removal of illegal connections will also benefit the municipality in its efforts to reduce electricity losses and increase revenue.

The contractor spent approximately 30% of their final contract value on uplifting local Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs). This is in direct line with our efforts of uplifting local businesses and people through investing local, buying local and empowering local.

We remain committed to the Mayoral Undertakings of creating opportunities for all and providing excellent service delivery to all our communities.

The electrification project is also a testament to our commitment to improving infrastructure and ensuring access to basic services for all communities.

MIDVAAL ENGAGES WITH BUSINESSES IN ONGOING ECONOMIC REVITALISATION DRIVE

Posted on by midvaal_marketing1

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.

Posted on by midvaal_marketing1

Midvaal Local Municipality officially inaugurated the Midvaal Sports Council.

The establishment of the Midvaal Sports Council is a vote of confidence in the revitalisation of sport in the municipality and a meaningful step toward empowering athletes across different codes to grow and thrive.

This launch builds on the foundation we’ve already laid through initiatives such as the Mayoral Sports Day, Walk with the Mayor, and our continued support of local teams through the donation of sports kits and funding for sporting trips.

The Council will be tasked with overseeing, administering, and fostering a wide range of sporting activities and programmes within the Midvaal Local Municipality.

This includes establishing a sport’s constitution, rules, and regulations to guide the conduct of various sporting codes and events.

The Midvaal Sports Council will ensure the effective coordination and management of these activities, with an emphasis on fair play and organisational integrity.

The Council comprises ten (10) officials, each representing different sporting codes, and is structured to reflect the gender and racial diversity of our community.

This inclusive approach ensures that the interests and needs of all stakeholders, including sports clubs, community organisations, schools, and local governing bodies, are recognised and addressed.

Midvaal commits to integrating sport into our development plans, budgets, and strategic partnerships to nurture talent within Midvaal.
