DA Ward 69 Tshwane

📰 QuickPolitics | Friday, 23 October

🚰 Tshwane’s contaminated water crisis was questioned in Parliament today. MPs asked ActionSA Mayor Nasiphi Moya why the water had not been treated and why residents had not been informed. The number of people believed to have become ill has risen to more than 600. With cases now reported in the city centre, there are growing questions about whether other areas may also have experienced water-treatment failures.

⚖️ Three SAPS officers were convicted in connection with the death of 16-year-old Nathaniel Julies in Eldorado Park. A constable and a sergeant were found guilty of shooting Nathaniel and lying about it during the COVID-19 lockdown. Nathaniel, who had Down syndrome, was reportedly on his way to the shops when he was shot. A third officer was convicted on lesser charges. The case prompted an angry response from residents and drew renewed attention to police brutality.

🚨 A DA council candidate in Soweto was allegedly threatened with death while campaigning. Mandla Nyaqela said a man came to his home and threatened to kill him unless he stopped campaigning for the DA, accusing him of “stealing” votes. After police reportedly refused to open a case, Helen Zille stepped in to lay one. She said the murder of a DA candidate in Cape Town earlier this year is a reminder that threats must be taken seriously.

🗳️ Everyone must be free to campaign and choose their representatives without intimidation. Threats have no place in our democracy.

Over the past few months, we’ve been working through streetlight repairs across Ward 69, which has around 160 streets. There is still plenty to do, but we’re making progress one area at a time.

Through the CUP applications, the streetlights in Uitsig Park have been repaired. Work in EldoUrban, in the area behind Saxby Spar, is about 85% complete.

Streetlights have also been repaired in Drienie, Kort Street, Mulders Mile, Swart Street, Caley Street and Fitzgerald Street.

In the restricted-access area behind Mulders Mile Shopping Centre, work is underway. The team first had to repair the mini-substations before they could move on to the lights.

Solar lights have been installed in the cul-de-sac in Frederik Street, and we’ll work to complete the remaining work as soon as possible. Solar lights have also been installed in parts of Evander and in several streets in Rooihuiskraal North.

There are still several streets to go, but we’ll keep working through them bit by bit.

🗞️ QUICKPOLITICS | THURSDAY, 22 OCTOBER

🚱 Gauteng’s water crisis is deepening. Suburbs across Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni and Tshwane have run dry. Rand Water says it is already pumping at full capacity, while Johannesburg and Tshwane continue using substantially more water than their allocated targets. Hot weather is driving demand even higher.

The DA says urgent action is needed: fast-track critical infrastructure, stop water losses, protect the safety of drinking water and get reliable emergency supplies to communities in need.

⚠️ Residents also need answers about water safety. Johannesburg Water has warned people in Bez Valley not to drink their water because it is unsafe. In Pretoria, experts are questioning whether residents should have been told that water was not being chlorinated.

With more than 400 people reportedly sick in Bronkhorstspruit, a serious question remains: was this the only area where water went without chlorine for weeks?

Residents deserve safe water—and clear, timely information when there is a risk.

🏙️ Another R16-billion promise for Johannesburg’s C*D

Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi and the Development Bank of Southern Africa have announced plans to revitalise the Johannesburg C*D. Lesufi says they will raise R16 billion for the project.

But announcements alone won’t revive the city. Lesufi has made big promises before, with little to show for them. Until the funding is secured and there is a clear plan to deliver, residents have reason to remain sceptical.

Nasiphi Moya and the ANC-EFF-led City of Tshwane have now pumped contaminated water into the taps of residents in Pretoria C*D. Residents have already been admitted to hospital🚨

This is not a failure of capacity; it is a failure of leadership. After spending R777 million on water tankers, Nasiphi Moya and the ANC are once again allowing residents to suffer while those benefiting from lucrative water tanker contracts continue to grow richer.

Even worse, Mayor Moya only communicates with residents after they have fallen ill, instead of warning them before their health is put at risk.

Nasiphi Moya must stop keeping residents in the dark, come clean about the full extent of Tshwane’s water crisis, and give communities the information they need to protect themselves and their families.

Nasiphi refuses to resign. But in 13 days, you can fire her. For clean water in your taps, vote DA on 4 November🚰🗳️

📰 *QuickPolitics | Wednesday, 21 October*

📉 *A budget that begins to put South Africa’s finances back on track.*

Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana delivered the Medium-Term Budget in Parliament, and the markets responded positively. The rand strengthened slightly, while bond markets welcomed the news that government debt as a share of GDP has fallen for the first time in 17 years. R17 billion in additional tax revenue helped make this possible.

⚖️ *There is also movement on a proposal the DA has long championed:* a law to stop government debt from rising unchecked as a share of GDP. Treasury is expected to present proposals for legislation that could do just that.

The budget reflects key priorities the DA took into the GNU: lower debt, a stronger primary budget surplus, less borrowing and greater predictability. It may not be a headline-grabbing achievement, but restoring fiscal stability and reining in government spending are essential to building a stronger economy. 🇿🇦

⛽ *Motorists will also get temporary relief at the pumps.* Treasury will forgo R10 billion in fuel-tax revenue, reducing the levy by R3 per litre on diesel and R1.50 per litre on petrol from November until early January.

🗳️ *The timing is striking:* the relief starts on election day. A coincidence? Voters can decide.

*For three weeks, unchlorinated water was pumped into the taps of Bronkhorstspruit residents🚨*

Tshwane knew what was happening, yet Nasiphi Moya and the ANC failed to warn residents that their drinking water was unsafe.

This is not just negligence, it’s criminal.

In most democracies, a leader who knowingly puts residents lives at risk and withholds critical information from the public would be expected to resign‼️

The DA has opened a case with SAPS and lodged a complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission.

If Nasiphi Moya is unwilling to hold herself and the responsible officials accountable, the DA will hold them all accountable when we enter government after 4 November🚓
