Municipal recovery requires more than good intentions; it requires planning, cost estimates and oversight. My experience in civil construction planning, management, the council and MPAC taught me to assess projects, budgets and responsibilities critically. Matlosana must ensure value for money, appoint competent contractors and monitor every project against clear standards. In ward 19, I want to promote fair infrastructure spending, regular feedback and consistent follow-up. Residents must know what is planned, what it costs, who is responsible and when it will be completed. In this way, trust grows through performance.
