The Speaker of Council, Cllr Mncedi Ndzwanana, is thrilled with the commencement of the nomination phase of ward committees in Tshwane.

The nomination phase started on 9 April 2024 and will conclude on 23 April 2024.

“I call upon all residents and stakeholders to unite and forward the names of their preferred candidates that they believe will put them first and have their service delivery interests at heart. Nominations can be made by any registered voter within a ward and need to demonstrate vested interest in the affairs of the ward in which he/she lives to be elected as a ward committee member,” said Cllr Ndzwanana.

Ward committees are the pillars of society. “They play a crucial role and help forge the relationship between the municipality and its residents. Most importantly, ward committees help residents hold those entrusted with delivering services accountable,” said Cllr Ndzwanana.

The latest developments are in full compliance with the City of Tshwane Ward Committee By-law and Tshwane residents are encouraged to actively participate in ward committee processes.

Nomination forms can be accessed and submitted online on the City of Tshwane official website (www.tshwane.gov.za) or in person at City of Tshwane regional offices and drop-off centres.
