ITS Portfolio Committee embarks on oversight programme
Magong- In a concerted effort to enhance service delivery and uphold accountability, the Portfolio Committee on Infrastructure and Technical Services of the Moses Kotane Local Municipality recently conducted an oversight visit to Magong Village. This initiative aimed to assess the progress and functionality of high mast light and borehole water projects, which are pivotal to the municipality’s commitment to improving the quality of life for its residents.
According to Portfolio Head of ITS Cllr Hazel Molefe, the committee’s primary focus was to evaluate:
• High Mast Lighting Projects: These are essential for ensuring public safety.
• Borehole Water Projects: Access to clean water is a fundamental need, and the functionality of boreholes is critical for communities, especially in areas where municipal water supply is limited.
Oversight Assessment outcome:
– Only a few of the 26 Apollo lights in the village were still functioning.
– Several lights have been maintained by the Municipal electrical team, and the other ones have been diagnosed for further repairs.
– In addition, some boreholes were augmented to ensure the community’s water availability is sufficient.
At Magong the Portfolio Committee was attended by MMC for Infrastructure, Cllr Hazel Molefe, Cllrs Mogomotsi Mogale, Cllr Nomvula Sekao, and Cllr Nelson Sefora.
