“As mayoral candidate, I believe Madibeng does not need another plan that ends up on a shelf. We must establish a financial recovery and service-delivery control centre where every intervention has a responsible official, deadline, budget and proof of completion. The council should receive a monthly scorecard on cash flow, collection, major creditors, infrastructure faults and repairs. Office-bearers must provide oversight without hijacking administration or procurement. My experience teaches me that sustainable recovery in Madibeng begins when performance is measured, risks are identified and persistent failure is addressed with consequences.”
