The DA have plans to sell the mayoral mansion in Tshwane it inherited from the ANC administration. The funds will be used to formalise 7 informal settlements.
The DA-led City of Tshwane plans to sell the mayoral mansion it inherited from the previous ANC administration in order to prioritise bringing better services to the residents of Tshwane, particularly those living in informal settlements.
“I am happy to announce that the City will officially be selling the Mayoral Mansion which we have long believed is unnecessary and can free up funds to embark on other meaningful projects and programmes for the people of Tshwane who, as I have long asserted, are our true VIPs.” – Solly Msimanga, Executive Mayor
The plans are to upgrade and fully formalise seven informal settlements over the 2017/18 financial year. The project is being called ‘Project Tirane’ and it will focus on upgrading the following areas to fully serviced stands, with some areas provided with bulk infrastructure:
- Kudube X9
- Refilwe Manor
- Themba View
- Olievenhoutbosch Ext 60
- Zithobeni Heights
- Zithobeni Ext 8 & 9
- Mabopane Ext 1
The Tshwane DA are making real change for the community! This isn’t the first time the DA have put the interests of the people ahead of their own! Recently the Gauteng mayors were all seen traveling in Economy Class, compared to other parties that use business and first class whenever possible!
While many South African’s feel hopeless when discussing politics, hopefully moments like this restore your faith in the countries leadership!
