projects that provide much-needed work opportunities for the people of Matjhabeng,” says Tshediso Tlali, spokesperson for the executive mayor
“We reaffirm our commitment to proper governance and accountability in the management of funds We confirm collaboration with the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure and other national departments to expand opportunities for our residents ”
Clarity owed
MARTI WILL
The Matjhabeng Local Municipality will be held accountable and clarity on the long-overdue housing site allocations in Western Holdings (Rheederpark Extension 2) will be demanded Estelle Dansey, DA councillor for the ward, says that for more than 15 years, the residents of Western Holdings, also known as the “Golf Course area ” , have endured a cycle of false promises and political manipulation Time and again, residents were told that site allocations would finally take place, yet nothing has materialised
“We now demand immediate action from the mayor, Thanduxolo Khalipha We demand that he provides a transparent and unambiguous update on the status of the land donation and the site allocation process Also there must be a formal community meeting where the Department of Human Settlements must face residents directly, and a public commitment from the municipality to deliver on promises that have been outstanding for over 15 years, ” says Dansey
She says despite the dedicated efforts from herself and her predecessor, former councillor Igor Scheurkogel, progress remains stalled
“The last official feedback claimed that the municipality is ‘awaiting finalisation of a land donation from Harmony’ Yet residents confirm that Harmony has already finalised this donation If that is the case, the municipality has no justification for further delays The people of ward 35 deserve transparency These sites cannot continue to be dangled as a political carrot, used to lure desperate residents during election campaigns,” says Dansey
She has formally submitted questions to council regarding this matter
“I have received no substantive response
Silence is no longer acceptable The people of ward 35 have waited long enough They deserve clarity, fairness and delivery, not excuses ”

Hoop van die week
Vriende is nodig
DS PHILIP MC LAREN
Wie van ons het nie vriende nodig nie – nodig om te lag, te droom en saam te lewe? Vriendskap begin met verhoudinge, verhoudinge wat tussen twee mense ontstaan. Almal van ons wil tog in gelukkige verhoudinge wees wat vir mekaar hoop, vreugde en veiligheid bied Vriendskappe gebeur nie sommer vanself nie. ’n Mens moet daarna gaan soek, daaraan werk en dit instandhou
Vir ons as gelowiges het ons die ware voorbeeld van vriendskap in ons Here
Jesus
Johannes 15:13: "Niemand het groter liefde as dit nie: dat hy sy lewe vir sy vriende aflê " Jesus het Sy lewe vir ons gegee sodat diegene wat in Hom glo die ewige lewe kan hê en dit ook in oorvloed (Johannes 10:10)
Dit is ’ n wonderlike voorreg om ’ n vriend te hê in wie Jesus lewe en om ’ n vriend te wees wat lief is vir Jesus Jesus het vir Sy dissipels gesê: “Ek noem julle nie meer ondergeskiktes nie Nee, Ek noem julle vriende” (Johannes 15:15)
Dink mooi oor die spreekwoord: “Wys my jou vriende en jou lewe sal daarvan getuig”
Ons kan ’ n gebed maak van ons lewe en ons vriende Kom ons vertrou die Here met ons vriendskappe sodat ek ook ’ n goeie en getroue vriend sal wees en dat ons sal lewe soos wat die Here van ons verwag ’ n Goeie vriend is een wat eenvoudig die pad saam met jou wil stap en dit geniet
Die een wat jou wil help om die beste daarvan te maak deur vir jou om te gee
Die een wat daar is om seker te maak dat jy in jou menswees groei en leer
En die een wat jou verantwoordelik hou om verbintenisse na te kom, maar wat ook daar is wanneer jy hulpeloos en gebroke is
Om hierdie vriend in jou lewe te hê en om so ’ n vriend te wees sal jou gelukkig maak
Wanneer die tyd aanbreek dat ons as vriende moet skei, sal daar altyd die band van vriendskap bly omdat ek weet ek was saam met vriende en ons was vriende saam in Christus − Ds Philip Mc Laren, leraar: NG Bedelia
Verwelkom seisoen van vernuwing
Failure to govern has led to citizens’ awakening to reality
The concerned residents of Kutloanong and Odendaalsrus:
This is a copy of the letter we addressed to the executive mayor of Matjhabeng, Thanduxolo Khalipha
Following the 2021 local government elections (LGE), you made a clear and bold promise to restore dignity and progress in the Matjhabeng Local Municipality We acknowledge and appreciate the visible efforts made under your leadership thus far - they are commendable and do not go unnoticed
However, as active citizens and stakeholders in the future of our communities, we can no longer remain silent about the appalling state of Sand Du Plessis Street and the broader collapse of key infrastructure and services, particularly in Kutloanong and Odendaalsrus
Sand Du Plessis Street, once a crucial lifeline connecting our people, now stands as a symbol of institutional failure The street has become a permanent construction site, plagued by delays, shoddy workmanship, and the cycle of incompetent contractors siphoning municipal funds without delivering results Oversight inspec-

SEPTEMBER GENERAL:
tion, a constitutional duty of Council, is nowhere be found
Beyond roads, our once-thriving sports and recreation sector has collapsed The Sipho Mutsi Sports Centre and Kutloanong Stadium – built to uplift and empower our youth – now lie in ruins They have become white elephants, their potential wasted due to mismanagement, corruption, and the lack of political will to maintain or restore them
This letter is more than a complaint
It is a call to action
We, the people, will no longer wait for change We are organising We are mobilising We will stand united – working class citizens, taxi associations, business forums, religious leaders, unemployed youth, and every affected citizen – to hold this administration accountable
To the leaders copied in this letter: You have failed your people Your silence and inaction have made you complicit And when the next elections come your names, and your betrayal, will be remembered and spoken in every street and every home
Kutloanong and Odendaalsrus have risen, we are wide awake, and we will not be silent
For 13 weeks until 26 November The Kingdom Ministries in Dagbreek Welkom will be running a Grief Share course for people who have lost someone in death to help them in their grief journey The course will take place every Wednesday at 18:30 at the church on the corner of Arrarat and Tempest streets Anyone is welcome to join the course For registration, costs or more information, contact the church office on 057 3534283 or Liz Botha on 079 017 0600 People can still join the group up to 3 weeks, once the course has started

Sewerage complications continue to escalate
Concerned resident of ward 11, Matjhabeng:
We, the residents of Bronville (ward 11), are seriously being mistreated
Our municipality is not helping us with the sewage problem we are living with We are experiencing an unpleasant lifestyle due to sewerage overspills and overflows
To top it all, one of our own people is selling us out and saying that they are helping us by being used by municipal officials to do their work
We have elderly people and babies experiencing these bad smells and cannot use toilets due to this problem You go to the toilet and flush once when you go out to the shops to go buy products, your waste passes you by on your way to the shop How embarrassing, and our pleas fall on deaf ears We ask the people in authority to please come and assist us in this matter because it seems like the construction mafia crisis has now shifted to a
sewerage mafia crisis
These incidents occur due the very same people that we think are helping the community, who turn around and sabotage the sewerage systems, causing them to overflow
Look up some pictures and see for yourself what we are experiencing in Bronville Contractors do nothing, yet they get paid huge salaries for doing just that nothing These are the things that needs to be investigated and fixed If needs be, our president, Cyril Ramaphosa, should to be told about these municipal workers and officials that are not doing their work and shirking their responsibilities, causing the wellbeing of community members to be sidelined as well We need a working government In addition, we as resident need to band together and learn to take care of our own systems Even when you log a call with officials or municipal representatives, they do not come in time to help By the time they do arrive, the situation has worsened
