“Rural communities cannot stand last in line when roads, water, electricity or communications infrastructure fail. Madibeng’s risk register must cover remote areas and rank projects according to safety, economic and service impact. Access roads affect farming, emergency services, schools and trade; reliable digital connections improve communication and monitoring. My experience in agriculture, management, sales, safety and fibre optics helps me recognise these links. I want to work with residents and technical teams to document recurring problems, assign responsibility and follow solutions through until rural communities experience improvement.”
