Malamulele residents adopt nodal point budget

 

Stakeholders recently adopted the Thulamela Nodal Point budget during a meeting at the Malamulele Club house.

They urged the municipality, however, to organise a meeting with the Vhembe district municipality to look at the problems of Malamulele Extension B. Before the adoption of the budget, there was a feeling that the budget should not be adopted until the Malamulele extension had been included in the budget.

The area, which was started without consulting Thulamela, has no sewerage system, no water and no electricity, while residents pay for full service. Cllr Obrien Malindi faced a barrage of questions regarding the matter, particularly from residents who claimed they had bought the stands from the local chief, but the municipality still required them to pay more.

Later it was agreed that Malamulele Section B was a special case and it required more than stakeholders at a nodal point meeting to solve the problem. It was later agreed that a meeting between Vhembe District Municipality, Thulamela and the residents of the section should be arranged in order to seek a solution.

Malamulele Sanco secretary Mr Brian Mangolele said Sanco was happy with the arrangement. “We agreed that we should adopt the budget, but the matter of the Malamulele Extension B will be revisited by the bigger forum, including Vhembe District Municipality, who is the water authority in the area,” he said.

Some of the projects which have been approved for Malamulele include 500 RDP houses and electricity for Shitlhelani village. In the pipeline are also the tarring of streets at Malamulele section B, and 200 RDP houses and electricity for Menial village.

Cllr Thina Mbedzi, a member of the management team at Thulamela, makes a presentation during the meeting. With her are the Speaker of Thulamela, Cllr Eric Baloyi (left), and Cllr Shadrack Maluleke.
