“Much progress has been made on the ground and we are leaving this council having laid a strong foundation for the new Municipal Council post the November 4 Local Government Elections. The cooperation that existed between the councillors and the administration has transformed the lives of many people in Fetakgomo Tubatse. The same spirit and dedication must be accorded the new Municipal Council to perform better.”Municipal manager Mogaramedi Makgata presented an overview of the achievements the municipality has attained since 2021. As part of key projects, Makgata was happy with the progress of the Burgersfort eastern ring road, which has attracted interest of both national and provincial government. He said this would be a game-changer as the town will have a new face and improved traffic flow. He said the designation of the Fetakgomo Tubatse Special Economic Zone is also key as it will create business and employment opportunities in the Sekhukhune region.
