Emfuleni Local Municipality is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. It is our intention to promote equitable representivity through the filling of positions.
People with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
The Emfuleni’s Executive Mayors campaign #PhakhamaVaal commenced yesterday, 02 June 2025, in Sebokeng, Lebohang Mahata Road, Waterdal Road, and Golden Highway. Supported by the MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Jacob Mamabolo, the Clean My City Campaign is expected to intensify throughout the streets of Emfuleni, all in the effort to tackle the rising waste management crisis and other service delivery-related matters affecting Emfuleni. Speaking about the initiative, MEC Mamabolo stressed how vital a tidy environment is for the health, happiness, and economic success of the community. “Our citizens have the right to live in a clean and healthy space. This campaign goes beyond just picking up trash; it aims to bring back respect and foster a sense of ownership, partnership, and responsibility within our neighbourhoods,” he remarked.
Executive Mayor Sipho Radebe shared the MEC’s views, emphasizing the ELM’s dedication to ensuring the program lasts over time. “We recognize our residents’ frustration, and we are devoted to working hard to ensure the cleanliness of our town. This campaign is an important step forward,” he mentioned.
Municipal Manager, Mr April Ntuli, also led at the forefront with his officials as they came prepared to participate in cleaning the streets across ELM. Municipal Manager Ntuli provided personal protective equipment, showing a focus on the safety and health of the workers. In the coming two weeks, groups will be sent out to concentrate on waste collection and clearing illegal dumping sites. They will also conduct street cleaning and waste collection. This will ensure that streets and public spaces are cleaned thoroughly.
The Emfuleni Local Municipality in its sitting on 31 May 2023 approved the budget for
the 2023/2024 – 2025/2026 Medium Term Revenue Expenditure Framework (MTREF)
period in line with the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA), which requires
that the budget of a municipality must be tabled for approval 30 days before the
beginning of the new financial year i.e., by 31 May 2023.
The task of compiling the budget has not been easy as the municipality is facing many
challenges among them is the payment for services by communities which impacts on
the ability of the municipality to provide services in a sustainable manner. The
municipality is aware of challenges of unemployment in our communities and the
impact that increase in rates and taxes has on the affordability of the services. This is
the reason why ELM has kept other cost increases in line with inflation rate.
Approved tariff adjustments for electricity and water, which their increases are beyond
the control of the municipality and are informed by increases of bulk electricity and
water from Eskom and Rand Water are 15.1% and 9.2% respectively. Other tariff
adjustments are 5.3% and are informed by the projected Consumer Price Index (CPI)
of 5.3% which is in terms of the National Treasury MFMA Circular 123.
The budget addresses the well-known challenges of basic services infrastructure and
provision has been made to fix particularly the water and electricity infrastructure as
the impact of high distribution losses in these services renders them as unsustainable.
Waste has been a challenge, from the current financial year (2022/2023) Emfuleni has
procured compactor trucks and, more will be added in the 2023/2024 financial year so
that service level standards as approved by Council are met.
We encourage all residents who can afford to pay for services to do so and those that
cannot afford to register for free basic services in line with the Indigent Policy. Working
together as communities and business we can do more.
The budget was approved with a Budget Funding Plan which targets a collection rate
of 80% in the 2023/2024 financial year. This is in line with the requirements of MFMA
Circular 124 on municipal Eskom Debt Relief.
The municipality made an application for Eskom Debt Relief in terms of MFMA Circular
124 and must meet the conditions set by the Circular in order to have its Eskom debt
as at 31 March 2023 to be written off. Council approved that the application should be
made in a special meeting held on 18 May 2023. Among the conditions is that the
municipality must achieve collection rates of 80% in the 2023/2024 financial year and
85% and 95% in the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 financial year respectively.
The municipality must also install electricity and water meters to qualify for the debt
write-off. Further and detailed communication will be made regarding the relief in the
near future.
We must work together as all stakeholders in the Vaal (RESIDENTS and BUSINESS
etc.) to make Emfuleni Local Municipality a Municipality of choice.
