Mayor of Tshwane and MMC for Finance,during Council today held at Tshwane House.
This budget is guided by the theme of sustaining the turnaround and leaving the City better than we found it.
We inherited financial disarray, weakened controls, cost pressures, liquidity strain,
and institutional instability, the effects of which still shape governance today.
The budget is grounded in sound financial governance and has been assessed by National Treasury as credible and fully funded, reflecting progress in restoring fiscal discipline after a period of institutional weakness.
Tshwane is also recognised by National Treasury as the leading municipality in the
country in terms of reform implementation and fiscal recovery progress.
We also acknowledge the role of our coalition partners in sustaining this turnaround.
