Councillors’ Corner #9 | ANC’s Mosala accounts for Mangaung’s Ward 11

Mangaung Metro's Ward 11 Councillor is featured in this week’s edition Councillors’ Corner.

On Wednesday, political parties and independent candidates signed the Electoral Code of Conduct, opening the way for the November 4 Local Government Elections. This code is crucial in ensuring that all 136,790 certified candidates have a fair and secure chance to campaign. In this week's Councillors' Corner, Digital News producer Lebo Tshangela spoke with Theodorah Mosala, the African National Congress (ANC) Councillor for Ward 11 in Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality, Free State.

Mosala's ward encompasses areas like Turflaagte in Bloemfontein, which confronts localized infrastructure backlogs and service delivery delays stemming from the municipality's financial crisis. Mosala highlighted her ward's primary challenges: "Our main challenges are roads; our roads are dilapidated. In my ward, I don’t have major challenges; the only challenge is where my ward is demarcated, between Ward 6, Ward 7 and Ward 10.

The sewage spillages that are coming from the three wards pass through my ward; then, during the winter season, all of us, all the corners of the city, you will find that there are more drip pipe leakages."
