WAR ON POTHOLES: MIDVAAL MAKING PROGRESS TO GET ROADS BACK ON TRACK

Midvaal Local Municipality is making progress with its accelerated War on Potholes campaign, aimed at addressing the road maintenance backlog across the municipality.
The War on Potholes campaign, which was launched last week, aims to fast-track repairs, patch potholes, and restore Midvaal’s roads to pristine condition.
In just one week, the Roads team repaired 460 potholes, covering a total area of 346.2m².
This work was carried out across various areas, including Buycelia, Meyerton CBD, Meyerton Extension 4, Glen Donald, Meyerton Farms, and Riversdale.
In addition, teams successfully graded several roads, including Tonbridge Road in Henley on Klip, Napoleon Road in Kliprivier, and De Wet Road in Buycelia.
As promised, the Municipality has established a dedicated email address for residents to report road-related issues: waronpotholes@midvaal.gov.za
A dedicated official has been assigned to monitor these reports and ensure they are escalated to the relevant departments for swift resolution.
The teams will this week focus their work in Walkers Fruit Farms, concentrating on 1st Road, Meyerton Road, Cross Road, De Deur Road, Walker Road, Plantation Road, New Road, Central Road, Power Road, and Cider Road.
Upon completion, the teams will move on to Meyerton Farms.
Midvaal is putting words into action, working to ensure that our roads are safe, reliable, and fit for all road users.

MIDVAAL LAUNCHES WAR ON POTHOLES CAMPAIGN

MIDVAAL LAUNCHES WAR ON POTHOLES CAMPAIGN

Midvaal Local Municipality officially launched its War on Potholes campaign, an intensified intervention aimed at accelerating efforts to address the road maintenance backlog across the municipality.

Recent heavy rainfall has significantly deteriorated road conditions, disrupting planned maintenance schedules and increasing the urgency for repairs.

The Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, was joined by the Municipal Manager, Mr Phumudzo Magodi and councillors to mark the launch of this critical campaign.

As part of efforts to restore our roads to a high standard, the municipality has appointed an external contractor to supplement the work of internal municipal roads teams. The contractor will prioritise outer and peripheral areas, including Walkerville, Homestead Apple Orchards, Daleside, De Deur, and Walkers Fruit Farms, focusing on road maintenance and pothole patching. Internal municipal teams will concentrate on central areas such as Meyerton, Sicelo, Riversdale, and Kookrus.

The municipality will dedicate a substantial budget to fog spraying, overlaying, resurfacing, and converting roads from gravel to tar. This investment will also ensure that teams are equipped with the necessary resources and machinery to improve the overall condition of the road network.

The campaign places strong emphasis on supervision and accountability to ensure improved turnaround times and high-quality workmanship. To strengthen oversight, the Executive Mayor has established a dedicated Roads War Room to monitor progress and receive regular reports on work undertaken by all teams.

Midvaal will, in the coming weeks, announce a new dedicated toll-free number and email address to handle road-related complaints, with dedicated personnel who will escalate issues for action and quick resolution.

The municipality is also exploring innovative technologies and equipment to modernise operations and fast-track road maintenance. In addition, the Human Resources Department has been tasked with assessing skills gaps and implementing targeted development programmes to strengthen our teams’ capacity.

Businesses operating within Midvaal will be engaged to play their part, particularly those whose heavy-duty trucks contribute to road damage. The Department of Development and Planning has been tasked with identifying key routes impacted by such activity, so that we can directly approach these businesses to partner with the municipality.

These coordinated interventions are designed to improve response times and restore the quality and reliability of Midvaal’s road network.

Midvaal remains committed to ensuring that our roads are safe, reliable, and fit for all road users.

Yours in Service Excellence, Ald. Peter Teixeira

MIDVAAL COMPLETES SAVANNA PUMP STATION UPGRADE TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND PREVENT SEWER OVERFLOWS

Midvaal Local Municipality has completed the construction of the Screen Chamber Project at the Savanna Pump Station to improve reliability and efficiency at the facility.

The pump station, which services the Savanna City RDP and bonded sections, experienced frequent breakdowns due to foreign materials such as rags, stones, wood, and metal entering the sump and damaging the pumps. This not only led to operational disruptions and increased maintenance costs but also reduced pumping efficiency and required regular cleaning by appointed contractors.
To address these challenges, the municipality approved the installation of the Screen Chamber as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen critical infrastructure. The completion of the screen chamber will significantly reduce the entry of debris into the pumps, improving system reliability and overall performance.

It will also reduce maintenance costs, prevent sewer overflows, and extend the lifespan of the pumping equipment. Furthermore, sump cleaning will now be more efficient and manageable. The facility is now equipped with a manual screening system, with provision made for future upgrades to a mechanical screening system as part of ongoing infrastructure improvements. Construction of the Screen Chamber commenced in October 2025 and was completed in February 2026. The total project cost amounted to R998 712.00 excluding VAT, and R1 148 806.80 including VAT. This project reaffirms Midvaal’s commitment to maintaining critical infrastructure, improving the effective management of wastewater systems, and protecting the health and well-being of its residents. Midvaal will continue to invest in its infrastructure to ensure we deliver reliable and excellent service delivery to all our communities.

In line with our commitment to creating opportunities and promoting local economic development, the road project created opportunities for twenty-one (21) SMMEs, which were contracted for services such as site establishment, kerbing, backfilling and other logistical support services.

At least eighteen (18) labourers and two Community Liaison Officers (CLOs) were employed during the construction phase of these roads.
