KAGISANO-MOLOPO SERVICE DELIVERY WAR ROOM CONVENES WEEKLY MEETING TO ACCELERATE SERVICE DELIVERY

GANYESA - The Kagisano-Molopo Local Municipality Service Delivery War Room, under the stewardship of the Acting Municipal Manager, Mr. O. Ntsimane, today convened its weekly War Room meeting.

Today’s meeting was attended by, amongst others, the Department of Community Safety and Transport Management, Department of Cooperative Governance (CDWs), Department of Health, South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), SAPS Vorstershoop, Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) and Magalies Water.

The mandate of the War Room enjoins the municipal council to ensure the provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner, promote social and economic development, and ensure that all residents have access to at least a minimum level of basic municipal services.

KEY ISSUES DISCUSSED
Amongst the pressing issues discussed was the concern of vandalism of water infrastructure and illegal connections to the main water source, which affects and disrupts the provision of water to communities.

Magalies Water, through the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality water service provider, has committed to refurbish boreholes that need overhauling to continue providing access to clean running water for communities.

The Department of Community Safety and Transport Management raised concerns regarding the vandalism and removal of road signs in our localities, especially in Tlakgameng and Morokweng. This prohibits the department from executing some of its operations due to the removal of road signs along the roads.

On the matter of access roads and the Morokweng-Leniesdeel road, the Municipality and the Department of Public Works will ensure a smooth partnership to work together to address the challenge.

The War Room will continue to monitor these interventions to ensure sustainable service delivery for all residents of Kagisano-Molopo.

MUNICIPALITY CLARIFIES MISLEADING INFORMATION REGARDING THE MEC'S MORATORIUM ON RECRUITMENT

Kagisano-Molopo Local Municipality wishes to clarify misleading information circulating in the public domain alleging that the Municipality acted in contravention of the moratorium imposed by the MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (COGHSTA) Honourable Gaoage Molapisi, on 24 August 2026.

The Municipality wishes to place on record that it did not disregard the MEC's directive but followed the exemption process expressly provided for in the moratorium.

Clause 3.2 of the moratorium makes provision for municipalities to apply for exemptions through written motivation to the MEC, while Clause 4.3 requires written approval from the MEC before an appointment process may commence.

In compliance with these provisions, the Municipality formally submitted a motivated request to the MEC seeking exemption to proceed with the recruitment of identified senior management positions.

Following consideration of the Municipality's motivation, the MEC granted written exemption on 3 September 2026, authorising the filling of the following senior management positions:
1. Director: LED, Tourism and Agriculture
2. Director: Good Governance and Public Participation
3. Director: Infrastructure and Technical Services
4. Chief Financial Officer.

The Municipality therefore wishes to emphasise that the continuation of the recruitment process in respect of the approved positions was not undertaken in defiance of the moratorium, but pursuant to written authorisation granted by MEC.

The Municipality finds it regrettable that information is being circulated without acknowledging these material facts, thereby creating an inaccurate impression of deliberate non-compliance.

Kagisano-Molopo Local Municipality remains committed to lawful administration, transparency, accountability and strengthening institutional capacity to improve service delivery.

The Municipality appeals to members of the public to rely on verified information and official documentation rather than misleading assertions.

WORLD FOOD DAY 2026 CELEBRATED IN TOSCA

TOSCA - The Mayor of Kagisano-Molopo Local Municipality, Cllr. Mosimanegape Diphikwe, hosted the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. W***y Aucamp, together with the Acting Executive Mayor of Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality, Cllr. Solly Matobo, at the World Food Day commemoration held today, 16 October 2026 in Tosca.

This year’s World Food Day was celebrated under the global call to ensure food and nutrition security for all, with a special focus on vulnerable communities “Innovate today. Nourish Tomorrow”

Support to Emerging Farmer, the Minister Aucamp handed over two Nguni bulls to Mr. Joseph Motaung of Eaden Farm Commonage. The Nguni breeding programme secures input capital, addresses genetic fertility and stabilises tenure. The Minister also vaccinated and ear-tagged livestock at the Eaden Farm Commonage, demonstrating government’s commitment to improving animal health and herd quality for emerging farmers.

Tosca Primary School, with 186 learners most of whom come from economically vulnerable families with limited household income and food insecurity affecting regular access to nutritious meals, was served with warm kitchen soup sponsored by Shoprite.

World Food Day 2026 in Tosca successfully mobilised a wide range of stakeholders, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Shoprite, Tiger Brands, ZZ2, Oceana Group Limited and other government departments, who brought more than enough food parcels and support for the community of Tosca.

In addition, other emerging farmers and community beneficiaries received JoJo tanks, water pumping equipment and mini generators from Food and Agriculture (FAO), to aid and preserve agricultural activities in the area, especially in the face of water scarcity and energy challenges.

WORLD FOOD DAY 2026 CELEBRATED IN TOSCA | MAYOR HANDS OVER FOOD PARCELS TO THUSANG BAGODI SERVICE CLUB

Tosca — Kagisano-Molopo Local Municipality Mayor, Cllr. Mosimanegape Diphikwe, today joined the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. W***y Aucamp, in commemorating World Food Day 2026 in Tosca.

As part of the celebration, Mayor Diphikwe handed over trays of eggs and food parcels to the Thusang Bagodi Service Club – a community-based organization dedicated to promoting active ageing, protecting the rights and dignity of senior citizens, and curbing the isolation of older persons who stay alone at home.

The Thusang Bagodi Service Club is also a proud beneficiary of tower gardens, an innovative initiative aimed at addressing infrastructure blockages, transitioning the club toward sustainable food production, and improving compliance with the National Food and Nutrition Security Plan.

This intervention will empower senior citizens to produce their own fresh, nutritious food, promote household food security, and generate income through sustainable agriculture.

World Food Day serves as a reminder of our collective commitment to eradicating hunger, improving nutrition and building resilient food systems — leaving no one behind, especially our elderly.

The Municipality extends its gratitude to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and all stakeholders for their continued support in uplifting vulnerable groups.
