The Musina Local Municipality has strongly dismissed allegations that the tap water used by local residents for household purposes is contaminated with a cholera virus. This comes after romours spread like wild fire on Monday that there was an alleged outbreak of cholera in Musina. As a result, the telephone lines of the municipality were congested with calls from confused citizens who were reluctant to use the local water supply. Scores of people also visited the municipal offices to verify if the allegations were true.

Due to cable theft, excessive temperature conditions and excessive water demand we are therefore obliged to ask residents of Musina and Nancefield to use water sparingly.  You are therefore requested to refrain from watering gardens and washing of vehicles until the conditions can be rectified.

Notice is hereby given in terms of Section 49 (1) (a)(i) together with section 78(2) of the Local Government: Municipal Property Rates Act, 2004 (Act No 6 of 2004), hereinafter referred to as the “Act”, that the supplementary valuation roll for the financial years 2007 – 2011 is open for public inspection at the Civic Centre and Municipal Offices, Musina, Nancefield and villages Madimbo, Malale and Domboni from 25 October 2008 to 25 November 2008. In addition the valuation roll is available at website www.musina.gov.za.

As indicated in previous circulars, the Board is processing the last batch of changes to municipal boundaries, so as to provide the IEC by August 2008 with the final boundaries of all municipalities for the alignment of voting districts for the 2009 elections.

Notice is hereby given in terms of Section 21 (1) of the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 Act 32 of 2000 that the Draft Intergrated Development Plan will be available for perusal and public comments from 02 APRIL 2008 –03 MAY 2008 during normal office hours at the following places:

We understand that the recent water cuts have impact negatively towards the day-to-day lives of our community members. As reflected in our Vision Statement, we strive to accomplish our mandate of being a vehicle of affordable quality services and stability through socio-economic development and quality leadership.

Due to the Limpopo River in flood, six of the municipal pumps are out of order due to damage caused by excessive debris such as large tree stumps. Despite all those challenges, we are doing our best to make sure that our people get the available water. 

In order to reduce electricity consumption by the required 10% target from Eskom, the Musina Local Municipality has started implementing power-saving initiatives. The initiatives include the usage of air conditioners, which has been limited to certain times during working hours.

All other unused computer equipment, lights and other electric equipment must be switched off or unplugged.

The Municipality hopes that this will bring positive results amid the dark cloud of load shedding which has been a major concern country-wide.  

Musina Municipality is riding the crest of success. Apart from being declared the best-run local municipality in Limpopo during the 2007 Provincial Vuna Awards, we pride ourselves by countless achievements we made in 2007. This is because of our track record of good governance and high standards of committed, political and administrative leadership.

The annual sizzling Mr. & Miss Musina kicked off in high note at Nancefield Community Hall. An initiative by the MusinaMunicipality, the event attracted 20 aspiring contestants (10 boys and ten girls) who battled for the golden crown.

The Musina Residents Concerned Group suffered a terrible blow when hundreds of community members pledged their support to the Council of Musina Local Municipality. Life came to a stand still when members of the society took part in a peaceful march that started at Nancefield Community Hall. The marchers handed a memorandum to Mayor Caroline Mahasela at the Civic Centre in town. It contained broad issues that extend to aspects under the jurisdiction of various stakeholders and role players within the Musina Municipality.
