The Executive Mayor of the City of Tshwane, Dr Nasiphi Moya, together with the multiparty coalition government, began an oversight visit of key capital infrastructure projects in Winterveld and Ga-Rankuwa on April 23, with Winterveld’s bulk infrastructure programme showing significant progress.
The visit focused on major developments that are reported to be approaching 80% completion, reflecting the City’s ongoing efforts to address infrastructure challenges and improve service delivery in affected communities.
In Winterveld, the Bulk Infrastructure Programme is nearing completion. The 20-megalitre reservoir is reported to be approximately 95% complete, while bulk water pipelines stand at 96% completion. Bulk sewer pipelines are currently at 66%. These components form part of a broader project aimed at strengthening water storage capacity and improving residents’ access to essential services.
Mayor Moya stated, “We have capital projects that we know are going to improve the lives of the people of Tshwane.”
The projects visited during the tour primarily focus on water and sewer infrastructure in areas that have historically struggled with access to reliable services.
“These initiatives are expected to significantly enhance living conditions for residents who have been struggling with water and sewer infrastructure. It’s not every day that we get to experience success in that manner, where we get to impact the lives of the people directly,” expressed Mayor Moya.
The mayor’s visit also extended to Ga-Rankuwa, where bulk pipeline upgrades are underway to address ageing infrastructure and improve water supply reliability.
The site tour aligns with commitments made during the mayor’s recent State of the Capital Address (SoCO), where the condition of the city’s ageing infrastructure and water losses were highlighted as major concerns.
Through project inspections, the mayor and coalition government representatives monitored the quality of work, assessed expected completion timelines, and engaged with community members.
The City said in a statement that the oversight visit to Winterveld and Ga-Rankuwa marks the beginning of continued tours to other key project areas as the City of Tshwane works towards completing critical infrastructure developments before the end of its term.
