In the quiet heart of Titibe, where grief has settled like a heavy winter cloud, the Executive Mayor has undertaken a courtesy visit to the Mailula and Sathekge families, following the tragic accident that claimed the lives of their beloved children.
It is a moment where words are few and presence speaks louder than speeches. In such times, the community is reminded that “a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved,” as leaders stand shoulder to shoulder with families whose world has been turned upside down in an instant.
The visit is not merely ceremonial—it is a gesture rooted in humanity, a reminder that even in the corridors of governance, compassion must walk ahead of protocol.

COUNCIL IN SESSION | Thursday, 28 May 2026

The wheels of local governance are firmly in motion this morning, as the Council of Polokwane Municipality convenes in full session to deliberate on matters that sit at the very heart of service delivery and development planning.

At the centre of the agenda lies the 2026–2031 Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and the final budget — the policy and financial compass that will steer the municipality’s priorities. In many ways, this is where aspiration is tested against available resources.

Inside the chamber, the tone is expectedly weighty but purposeful: a space where strategy is sharpened, trade-offs are weighed, and the future of communities is quietly but decisively negotiated line by line, rand by rand.
