Ald Nasiphi Moya, the Executive Mayor of Tshwane, has outlined progress made in stabilising municipal finances, improving service delivery and strengthening governance during nearly two years in office. Presenting the End-of-Term Report Back on 12 October 2026, Ald Moya reflected on the administration's efforts to address longstanding municipal challenges while continuing the City's recovery.
One of the administration's key achievements has been improving the City's financial position. The City also reduced its Eskom debt from approximately R6,6 billion in October 2024 to R4,73 billion by March 2026, while cash reserves increased from R835 million to approximately R1,8 billion by July 2026. Revenue collection reached R43,9 billion during the 2025/26 financial year, representing 98% of the City's funding plan.
Economic revitalisation has also featured prominently in the administration's recovery programme. Through the Tshwane Economic Revitalisation Strategy, adopted in April 2025, the City aims to increase growth, attract investment and create employment opportunities. The City's verified investment pipeline grew from R2 billion in June 2025 to more than R20 billion by June 2026. The administration has also introduced initiatives to support entrepreneurs and young people, including the Ithuba Youth Economic Development Programme, which attracted more than 9 200 registrations by the end of July 2026.
Infrastructure development and service delivery remain central to the City's priorities. The administration has reported progress in restoring water supply to communities affected by prolonged interruptions, replacing ageing pipelines and repairing major leaks. More than 28 km of water pipelines have been replaced, while approximately 2 700 households have been connected to sewer services during the term. In electricity infrastructure, upgrades have progressed at several substations as the City works to improve network reliability. A total of 21 000 streetlights and 291 high mast lights were repaired, alongside the installation of additional public lighting across Tshwane.
The Road and Transport Department has also received attention, with more than 220 km of roads resurfaced across the municipality. The City has strengthened its pothole repair capacity through the restoration of the Bon Accord Asphalt Plant and the introduction of specialised repair equipment. Meanwhile, the expansion of the A Re Yeng Bus Rapid Transit System and progress on intermodal facilities form part of broader efforts to improve public transport access.
In the Human Settlements Department, more than 4 000 qualifying beneficiaries were relocated from informal settlements and allocated permanent stands during the 2025/26 financial year, while more than 2 800 title deeds were issued to residents, strengthening security of tenure and formal property ownership.
The City has intensified efforts to improve public safety, cleanliness and environmental management. The Tshwane Metro Police Department conducted crime prevention and by-law enforcement operations, while additional vehicles and equipment were provided to strengthen policing and emergency response.
The Emergency Services Department expanded its firefighting capacity through new response vehicles and satellite fire stations. In terms of environmental management, more than 19 000 tonnes of illegal dumped waste were removed across Tshwane from October 2025, while community clean-up initiatives mobilised thousands of residents and partners to improve public spaces. These interventions are intended to promote safer communities and improve the living environment for residents and businesses.
The Community and Social Development Services Department and the Health Department have remained important components of the administration's programme. The City's Food Bank has supported more than 2 000 households experiencing food insecurity, while the Expanded Public Works Programme created approximately 14 000 work opportunities across Tshwane during the 2025/26 financial year. Municipal healthcare services also continued to support residents, with all 24 City-managed primary healthcare clinics serving more than one million people. Mobile clinics reached vulnerable communities, while mental health services expanded to all 24 municipal clinics. Despite these interventions, the City acknowledges continuing challenges, including poverty, unemployment, infrastructure maintenance, healthcare access and the need to expand support for vulnerable households.
The City continues to face ageing infrastructure, financial pressures, high demand for housing and services and the need to strengthen accountability and responsiveness. The administration has also reported improvements in audit outcomes, with the number of audit qualification areas declining from six in 2023/24 to two in 2024/25. As the City of Tshwane continues its recovery, Ald Moya has reaffirmed the administration's commitment to strengthening municipal capacity, improving service delivery and rebuilding residents' confidence in local government in Tshwane.
