MEDIA INVITE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADM EXECUTIVE MAYOR TO HAND OVER 5 NEW TRACTOR-LOADER-BACKHOES TO ENHANCE SERVICE DELIVERY ACROSS LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES ADM HEADQUARTERS –
TUESDAY, 04 FEBRUARY 2025
Amathole District Municipality (ADM) Executive Mayor, Cllr Anele Ntsangani, will officially hand over five (5) new Tractor-Loader-Backhoes (TLBs), valued at R6,286,648.37 (including VAT), to five local municipalities. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for the municipality, enhancing its ability to deliver services, particularly in water and sanitation. The TLBs will be instrumental in responding to pipe bursts and other emergencies. The new equipment will strengthen ADM's rapid response capabilities in service delivery across the municipalities of Mnquma, Ngqushwa, Amahlathi, Raymond Mhlaba, and Great Kei. It is important to note that Mbhashe Municipality has already been supplied with a TLB, which leaves these five municipalities to benefit from the latest delivery. Additionally, the TLBs are fully licensed, insured, and equipped with fuel cards, ensuring they are ready for immediate deployment. A key advantage of this acquisition is the reduction in the need to hire external equipment, which will support the municipality's Financial Recovery Plan, leading to long-term cost savings and improved financial sustainability. Members of the media are invited to attend the event, and opportunities for interviews will be available.
