Midvaal Local Municipality has increased the Mayoral Student Financial Aid Programme to more than R1.1 million for the 2026 academic year.
As a result of the increased budget, Midvaal will assist at least 44 learners with financial support for the 2026 academic year, up from 37 in the previous year.
The initial budget was R750 000, but due to the growing demand, the Municipality proposed an additional R305 000 as part of the Adjusted Capital and Operating Budgets for the 2025/2026 financial year.
The adjustment of the Mayoral Student Financial Aid was approved during the second Ordinary Council meeting.
Nedbank contributed R50 000 to the fund, increasing the total budget for the Mayoral Student Financial Aid Programme to R1 105 000.
This increase ensures that more deserving young people are given the opportunity to further their education and invest in their futures.
Since its inception in 2024, the Mayoral Student Financial Aid Fund has disbursed more than R2.6 million in funding, benefiting at least 101 students and supporting them on their academic journeys.
Midvaal remains committed to assisting those who aspire to pursue higher education, and we will continue exploring ways to strengthen and grow the programme in response to community needs.

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.

Midvaal Local Municipality is intensifying its efforts to enhance road safety and ensure safer roads for all road users.

This week the Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, joined the Traffic Division in their road safety campaigns with a strong focus on the inspection of scholar transport.

The operation was conducted at Meyerton High School, De Deur Primary School and Randvaal Primary School.

These inspections aimed to check for scholar transport permits, prevent overloading of learners and ensure roadworthiness of vehicles.

The campaign also focused on driver education to promote compliance with the rules of the road and responsible driving behaviour.

The road inspections revealed several serious contraventions, including heavy motor vehicles and buses being found unroadworthy, minibus taxis operating without a valid Professional Driving Permit (PrDP), drivers without valid PrDPs, and vehicles being discontinued from service due to critical mechanical defects and were impounded.

In many scholar transport vehicles, we found children being dangerously overloaded, with some forced to sit on benches and even on car batteries that had been improvised as makeshift seats.

These findings highlight the importance of ongoing enforcement and awareness efforts to improve road safety for all road users.

Our Traffic Division has consistently risen to the challenge and, over the years, has pursued innovative approaches to strengthen traffic services and enhance safety on our roads.

Significant investments have been made in procuring mobile radios, vehicle-monitoring cameras, law enforcement scanners, and other critical support resources to bolster our road safety efforts.

Traffic officers are equipped with body-worn cameras and traffic scanners, promoting improved performance, accountability, and ethical conduct.

These interventions form part of our ongoing commitment to protecting lives and making Midvaal’s roads safer for all.

These road safety operations will continue across our municipality to ensure the safety of learners, commuters, and all road users.
