STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS DEBATE UNDERWAY
The Council Chamber was abuzz today as political parties dived into a robust debate on the 2025 State of the City Address delivered by Executive Mayor Cllr Makoro John Mpe on Thursday, 05 June 2025. With spirited inputs and constructive criticism guided by municipal rules, Councillors reflected on the theme: “Polokwane is on the rise, even with limited resources.”
In his response, Executive Mayor Mpe welcomed the debate as a critical milestone in strengthening democracy and improving service delivery: “We appreciate this first-ever combined IDP/Budget 2025/26 debate. Constructive engagement from opposition parties is essential for moving Polokwane forward. Together, we can build Polokwane.”
The Executive Mayor also made a strong call to empower municipal employees: “We must change our attitudes and work environment. Our employees are the backbone of service delivery, and we will continue to support their growth and equip them to serve our communities better.”
Indeed, Polokwane is on the rise.
