MEDIA INVITATION
STATE OF THE MUNICIPAL ADDRESS & BUDGET SPEECH FOR 2026/2027
The Mayor of Moretele Local Municipality, Cllr. Masango George Manyike, will table the Municipality’s 2026/2027 Budget, with service delivery identified as a key priority.
The budget will focus on critical community needs, including water provision, internal roads, high-mast lights, sanitation, and infrastructure development. The Municipality continues to work towards the construction and rehabilitation of roads across Moretele, many of which were severely damaged by heavy rainfall.
The 2026/2027 Budget will also prioritise youth development programmes, the Mayor’s bursary programme, job creation initiatives for young people, and community business opportunities.
As part of empowering local entrepreneurs, the Municipality has already identified 26 young people to participate in the Shopo ya Batho programme across the Moretele area. The programme aims to strengthen local economic participation and close the gap in community access to business opportunities. Delivery of containers and stock for the shops is expected soon.
Small businesses are also expected to benefit from the upcoming budget allocations.
