MARTI WILL

TheJanuary2026 Financial Recovery Plan report presented to theMatjhabeng Council paints an encouraging picture, with 74% of monitored activities reportedly “achieved” andnoactivitiesrecordedas“notstarted”.

On paper, this suggests progress

In reality, residents areexperiencingdeterioratingservice delivery, collapsing infrastructure, weak accountability, and plummeting public confidence

Since the Financial Recovery Plan wasinitiated in November 2025 under Section139(5)(a) and (c)constitutional intervention, residents have seen little tangible improvementintheir dailylives

Themunicipality’sown figures reflectconcern,with payment ratesdecliningfrom51% in October2025 to 39% in December 2025, showing little evidence of meaningful recovery

Thedisconnect betweenreported progress and lived reality is starklyillustrated by the Fourie Street crisis in Hennenman.

Nearly ayearago,aformalpetition highlightedthe total collapse of road infrastructure, with Fourie Street specificallymentionedas critical. Despitepublic exposure and formalCouncil engagement, the responseamountedtoasingle paragraphwith no meaningful intervention

Thesituation escalateddramaticallyon9Februarywhen a long-standingwater leak completelyunderminedthe road structure.

Officials consistently cited unavailable materials,supplychain constraints, and procurement delays. Yetsuddenly, after the road collapsedcompletelyand Vista publishedavideoonFacebook,

the necessary partsbecameavailable and repairscommenced.

This represents reactive crisis management, not proactivegovernance.

It hasbecome commonfor councillorsand residents to purchase basic materials themselves –taps, pipes, meters, and fittings –simplytoensurerepairs arecompleted

Officials often contactcouncillors beforeattemptingprocurement, knowing that self-funding resolves mattersmorequickly

This cannot be accepted as normalpracticewhen residents payrates and taxes for municipal services

Themunicipalityoperates with arevolvingdoorofacting appointments –actingmunicipal manager, actingchief financial

officer,actingexecutivedirectors –typicallyfor three-month periods.

Theseindividuals frequently avoid firm decisions,merely occupyingseats until their terms expire.

Eachnew actingappointment forces councillorstorestart entireprocessesofreportingand escalation, creatinggovernance paralysis.

Fleetcontrol appearsseverely compromised,with municipal vehicles used fortransportingschool children andbeercrates, whilst heavymachineryservespersonal errands

Despitereportingthese matters, no action is takenagainstofficials

Residents across Matjhabeng have endured unreliable water supplyfor over twoyears

Dailyclosures andinadequate pressure create serious fire and public safetyrisks,ashydrants become ineffectiveand emergency services lack immediatewater accessduringpotential disasters

On 24 January2026, theDA formallyraisedthese concerns with Deputy MinisterofWater andSanitationSello Seitlholo, butresidents cannot continue sufferingwhilstprocessesdragon indefinitely.

TheFinancial Recovery Plan was intendedtolift Matjhabeng from financial distress.

Instead, residentsexperience collapsing roads, unreliable water supply, procurementdysfunction, andleadership instability. There is agrowing disconnect between reported complianceand lived reality

Matjhabeng will not recover through reportsalone.Itrequires permanentleadership, strict consequence management, functional processes, andvisible service deliveryimprovements.Residents deserve amunicipalitythatworks, not one that merelyreports

“Beyondrugby,ifithas anything to do with school sports,wewant to be talkingabout it,” Wetdewich explains “Thereare greatstories to tell around school sports.Supporters and school communities arenot just engaged; theyare emotionally,and in many cases financially, invested

“Small townssplit in half when derby weekends come around. Heroes areborn and superstarsare made.All this makesfor amazing storytelling.”

Grievances need to be shared

Aconcerned employee,Lejweleputswa Development Agency:

Iamwritingtobring to public attentionamatter of seriousconcern involvingthe Lejweleputswa Development Agency, adistrict municipal entity in theFreeState

Iamanemployeeofthe agency. Staff have not been paid their salaries for five months,despite remainingemployedand expectedtocontinue reportingfor dutyuntil the auditwas finished. TheLejweleputswa District Council approved an operational budget of zero for the agency, afterwhichsalarypayments ceased

At the same time,employees have been informed of an intendedliquidation of the agency, yetnoformalliquidation processhas commenced, and no lawful termination of employmenthas taken place

As aresult,employees remain without income, clarity or relief, while continuingtosuffer severe financial hardship

Thedecisiontoapprovea zero budget while employeesremain appointedraisedserious questions of governance,accountability, and fairness,particularly in adistrict already facing significant socio-economic challenges

Employeeshavesoughtclarity andintervention through formal channels,but the situation remains unresolved

Theongoingnon-paymentofsalaries has caused significant personal distressand uncertainty for affectedstaff andtheir families.

Iamraisingthismatterinthe public interest and request that my identitybeprotected due to fear of victimisation.

Itrust that your publicationwill consider highlighting thismattertoensuretransparency, accountability, andurgentintervention.

MononyeLebohang Confidence,Welkom: Irecentlygavebirth to my firstchildatthe Bongani HospitalinWelkom, andIcannotrecommend this placeenough

As a34-year-old first-time mom,Iwas admittedonJanuary14after beingclassified as high-risk. Iwill admit,Iwas terrified aboutgoing thereand the induction processtheyplanned forme.

Butfromthe moment Iarrived,the nurses putmeatease– theyevenhelped carrymybags andtookthe time to explainevery step of the induction clearly andpatiently.

Theentirestaff wasincrediblyfriendlyand supportivethroughoutmystay, whichended up beingabout aweekand ahalf.When things progressedtoneeding aC-section,theytransferred me to the dedicatedwardwithout anyhassle. Iwas feelingsostressedand anxious,but the team went outoftheir waytokeepmecalmand reassured.

Theservice wastop-notch –truly the best I have ever experiencedina hospital setting.

Afterthe C-section, Istruggledwith breastfeedingmybaby, whichiscommonfor new moms likeme. Thenursesdid nothesitate;they

came rightin, offered practical tips and advice, demonstrated techniques,and explainedeverythingindetail.

Their willingnesstohelp made allthe difference duringthosevulnerable earlydays. Even on discharge day, when Iwas panicking becausemytransport wasleavingat11:00 andI hadnobackup, the doctor prioritised my situation.Despitedealingwith amedical emergency, he expedited my releasetomakesureI could get home safely That kind of compassion is rare What stood outmostwas howthe staff treated everyone equally, with respectand kindness. Therewas an instance whereI needed an injectionaspartofmyhealingprocess, butI washesitantdue to my religious beliefs. They explainedits importance thoroughlywithout any pressure,givingmetime to decide –noforcing or judgment.

Theteamatthe Bongani Hospital deserves everyaward outtherefor their dedication and humanity.Ifyou areexpecting, especially in a high-risk situation,donot hesitate to choose this hospital They turnedwhat could have been a scaryordealintoa positive, empowering experience Thank you to everyone there– you have set the barhigh.

Workers who were put in placetosupport growth,deserve support in turn

Lucy Mokoena,Lejweleputswa:

Theseare not facelessnumbers on apayroll.

They aremembers of ourcommunity– mothers and fathers, daughters andsons –whosedaily lives have been thrown into upheaval.

TheLDA wasestablishedwith avitalmission: to stimulateeconomic growth across the district, create jobs,and help communities thrive beyond the boom-and-bustofminingeconomies.Yet today, the very people entrustedwith implementingthisvisionare sufferingwhile the promises of economicrenewal liedormant

This momentcalls forachangeofheart,guided by accountabilityand compassionfromour municipality’sleadership.

Thehardworking staff of the agencydeserve

urgent,transparent action. Aclear plan must be presentedand implementedtoensureworkers receivethe salaries owed to them without further delay.Families cannot wait in limbo while leadership debatesbureaucracy.

Thecommunityhas the righttoknowwhat steps arebeingtaken –not veiledstatements or vaguereassurances,but regular, transparent updatesonprogressand timelines

TheLDA’s mandatewas to uplift ourdistrict economically. It is time to restorethat mission with tangible strategies that benefitworkers and residents alike,drawing on honest evaluation andgenuine communityengagement.

Workershaveshown patience fortoo long. Their sufferingisareminder that good governance must neverbedisconnected from the lived realities of the people it serves.True leadership is measured notbytitles or budgets, butbyhow quickly and fairlyitresponds when its people areinneed.
