Mr Stan Wallace, municipal manager, regards the award as “good news” for local authorities and government’s focus on turn-around strategies for municipalities. He stated that in 2006, Theewaterskloof Municipality was unable to render servies properly due to political instability, lacking service delivery, insufficient community processes and participation, infrastructual decline, problems with housing provision, administrative shortcomings and insufficient revenue.

After the current council took over the reigns in 2006, a turn-around strategy was initiated.
“The strategy pursued five objectives and resulted in political stability, sound corporate management, partnerships with the public and non-governmental organisations, infrastucture recovery and growth; and acceptable levels of service delivery”, Wallace remarked. READ MORE

During the first year of the 5 year term of the current Council, the focus as been on stabilizing the Administration, enabling a high standard of corporate governance and developing the capacity required for professional operations and service delivery. The targets we have set for ourselves have been met. Since 2008 the focus has now shifted towards becoming a competitive developmental local authority.  Many challenges, obstacles and blockages will in the process have to be addressed and overcome for example a rapidly ageing infrastructure and growing backlogs in respect thereof, financial viability and a decline in the economy.

However the TWK maintains that its ultimate success will depend on its ability to develop and implement a successful Local Economic Strategy that will successfully serve as the basis and driver of all other strategies and programs of the Municipality.

 

The development of our local economy will in our view have a definite positive impact on job creation, house ownership, substance abuse, crime, family related problems, health related problems etc.

 

We are now only in our first year of pursuing the stated theme and progress is sometimes frustratingly slow, however we are confident and positive about the future of our municipality and the area and beneficiaries it has to serve.

    AREA INFORMATION
   

This area is named after the Theewaterskloof dam near Villiersdorp, the largest dam in the region and main source of water to Cape Town. In addition, the dam offers excellent fishing and water sports. You could go on a 4x4 fynbos Mountain Eco Tour, do some bird watching or hit a few birdies at the fabulous Theewaterskloof Country Club Resort. To the south of the dam is Grabouw, renowned for its apples (produces 65% of South Africa’s export crop). Between Grabouw and Villiersdorp lies the Hottentots-Holland Nature Reserve, an important area for the protection of mountain fynbos and small populations of the bok, klipspringer common duiker and grysbok. The wildlife can be observed from two hiking trails. Mountain biking is another option.

Crank it up along winding single tracks through pine plantations and diverse terrain. Bot River lies at the foot of the Houw Hoek Mountains and the Bot River Lagoon is very popular with water sport enthusiasts and bird watchers. The N2 (eastbound) will bring you to Caledon, a medium sized agricultural centre. The restored buildings and oak lined streets of Greyton contribute to the interesting and peaceful character of this little country town. Greyton is situated on the slopes of the Riviersonderend Mountains and is a popular retreat. The Greyton Nature Reserve boasts mountain fynbos and proteas as well as various antelope and it is from here that you can start your 16km walk along the Bushmanskloof Trail where you can bear witness to nine crystal clear waterfalls!
