Her Worship Mayor,Cllr Maira Mokobodi tabling Aganang service delivery status quo
Aganang Local Municipality again reaffirmed its commitment to service delivery to the people during the 1st IDP Representative forum in Ga-Seema hall. The forum was for the municipality to present the status quo of the service delivery in the municipality, challenges and intervention plan that are in place to deal with any identified challenges. Aganang Municipality serves around 105 villages under four traditional leaders. The presentation was attended by various stakeholders including Government Departments, Non Profit Organisations, Community Organisations, Entrepreneurs, Farmers and Traditional Leaders.
The Municipality had a very good story to tell as it managed to achieve many of basic needs needed by the communities in the previous years. Such achievements include being able to provide electricity and roads tarring to the communities and also providing basic free electricity to the indigent families. Aganang Municipality is also able to provide free basic Alternative Energy to new extension villages without electricity. Her Worship Mayor Cllr. Maria Mokobodi says even though they are proud of their achievements they are concerned on areas where there are backlog of basic service like provision of housing, water and sanitation.
Councilors took part in IDP Representative forum
Her Worship Cllr. Mokobodi says they are planning to electrify village extensions like Utjane, Mandela, Mohlonong, Vlakfontein, Lonsdale, Mabopane, Monotwane and Monyoaneng with an estimated budget of R14, 5 Million. The Municipality also plans to increase the number of households receiving Free Basic Electricity from 6000 upward. Aganang Municipality has a budget of R1 million is also allocated for Free Basic Alternative Energy. One of the major sit back or challenge faced by the municipality is lack of enough revenue streams to meet the unlimited needs of the communities.
Stakeholders during the meeting came up with questions directed to the municipality and those directed to sector departments working with the municipality. This included the department of Health, Agriculture, CoGhsta, Capricorn District Municipality and SAPS. The Municipality was impressed with the enthusiasm and full participation by the stakeholders with the aim of taking the municipality forward with service delivery.
