MY WARD, MY VOICE! UPCOMING WARD COMMITTEE ELECTIONS

We are proud to launch the “My Ward, My Voice” public awareness campaign ahead of the upcoming Ward Committee Elections.

Local government works best when community members participate directly in democratic processes. Ward Committees serve as a vital link between the municipality and the public, ensuring that issues are brought straight to the council’s attention.

Understanding Ward Committees

A Ward Committee is a statutory structure consisting of active community members who are democratically chosen to represent the interests of their specific ward. Their primary functions include:

• Listening to the Community: Gathering feedback, service delivery complaints, and innovative ideas from residents.
• Collaborative Governance: Working constructively alongside the elected Ward Councillor and municipal management to address local matters.
• Community Upliftment: Advising the council on development planning, budgeting priorities, and service delivery improvements to build a sustainable environment for all.

Get Ready To Make Your Voice Heard

Every resident has a right and a responsibility to influence how their area is governed. As we prepare for the upcoming elections, we encourage all residents to think about how they can actively contribute, whether by nominating dedicated local leaders, standing for election, or casting a vote.

We will be rolling out detailed information regarding election dates, nomination procedures, and venue details in the coming days.

Be the change you want to see in your neighbourhood. Stay tuned to our official municipal website and social media platforms for further updates.

MY WYK, MY STEM! OPKOMENDE WYKSKOMITEE-VERKIESINGS

Ons is trots om die “My Wyk, My Stem” openbare bewusmakingsveldtog te loods voor die opkomende Wykskomitee-verkiesings.

Plaaslike regering werk die beste wanneer gemeenskapslede direk aan demokratiese prosesse deelneem. Wykskomitees dien as ‘n belangrike skakel tussen die munisipaliteit en die publiek, wat verseker dat kwessies direk onder die raad se aandag gebring word.

Verstaan ​​Wykskomitees

‘n Wykskomitee is ‘n statutêre struktuur wat bestaan ​​uit aktiewe gemeenskapslede wat demokraties gekies word om die belange van hul spesifieke wyk te verteenwoordig. Hul primêre funksies sluit in:

• Luister na die Gemeenskap: Versamel terugvoer, klagtes oor dienslewering en innoverende idees van inwoners.

• Samewerkende Bestuur: Konstruktief saamwerk met die verkose Wyksraadslid en munisipale bestuur om plaaslike sake aan te spreek.

• Gemeenskapsopheffing: Adviseer die raad oor ontwikkelingsbeplanning, begrotingsprioriteite en verbeteringe in dienslewering om ‘n volhoubare omgewing vir almal te bou.

Maak Gereed om Jou Stem te Laat Hoor

Elke inwoner het ’n reg én ’n verantwoordelikheid om die manier hoe hul gebied bestuur word te beïnvloed. Terwyl ons voorberei vir die opkomende verkiesings, moedig ons alle inwoners aan om te dink oor hoe hulle aktief kan bydra, hetsy deur toegewyde plaaslike leiers te nomineer, vir verkiesing te staan ​​of te stem.

Ons sal in die komende dae gedetailleerde inligting oor verkiesingsdatums, nominasieprosedures en lokaalbesonderhede bekend maak.

Wees die verandering wat jy in jou gemeenskap wil sien. Bly ingeskakel op ons amptelike munisipale webwerf en sosiale mediaplatforms vir verdere opdaterings.
