The Executive Mayor of the City of Tshwane, Dr Nasiphi Moya, together with the multiparty coalition government, visited key capital infrastructure projects in Ga-Rankuwa and Winterveld on April 23, as part of an oversight tour focused on improving service delivery.
In Ga-Rankuwa, attention was placed on bulk pipeline upgrades to improve water supply reliability and reduce ongoing challenges caused by ageing infrastructure, leaks, and pressure drops. The City of Tshwane has also continued installing bulk services at Extension 10 in Ga-Rankuwa, strengthening efforts to improve residents’ access to water.
The tour formed part of the mayor’s broader oversight programme to assess progress on the ground and monitor developments reported to be nearing 80% completion. These projects mainly focus on water and sewer infrastructure in areas that have long struggled with consistent service delivery.
Mayor Moya stated, “We have capital projects that we know are going to improve the lives of the people of Tshwane.”
These initiatives by the mayor and the Human Settlements department are expected to significantly enhance living conditions for residents who have experienced ongoing water and sanitation challenges.
“It’s not every day that we get to experience success in that manner, where we get to impact the lives of the people directly,” expressed Mayor Moya on the growing progress of the projects.
The visit also included Winterveld, where bulk infrastructure development is well advanced. However, in Ga-Rankuwa, the focus remains on stabilising and upgrading existing infrastructure to ensure long-term sustainability.
The site tour supports the mayor’s recent State of the Capital Address (SoCO), which emphasised the urgent need to address ageing infrastructure that has contributed to water losses across the city.
Through the inspection, the mayor and coalition representatives were able to assess the quality of work, monitor projected completion timelines and engage directly with community members.
