Message from the Municipal Manager
Firstly, I would like to thank the staff, councilors, members of the communities and stakeholders for the support and commitment shown in the 2022/23 financial year.
In the 2023/24 financial year, the Municipality achieved a number of service delivery goals as well as an increase in performance and financial management of our municipality. We have sustained unqualified audit with matters, though our intention is to achieve unqualified audit opinion without matters.
In the previous financial year, the municipality acquired the same audit opinion.
The municipality continues to grow in leaps and bounds, serving the interest of our people from all walks of life.
The strategic planning session with our council has resulted in a service delivery plan which is already being implemented in all 18 wards in Mandeni. The plan is not an overnight fix but a short, medium and long term to ensure that all communities within the Mandeni Municipal area have basic essential services.
Establishment of the Mandeni Municipality is as a category B Municipality. This is a municipality that shares municipal executive and legislative authority in its area.
The municipal overall performance as a result of these challenges remained satisfactory but all efforts shall be put in place to ensure that there is improved level and quality of service delivery to the Community with high level of speed.
Mr. SG KHUZWAYO
