It is hard to believe that it is once again time to say a ‘blessed festive season’.
What a busy year we have had here in Mogale City. It has been a year of many challenges – globally, for our continent, our country, and for our city.
As a nation our communities have been drawn together and stood as one whenever called upon to do so. The economic impact this pandemic has forced onto us will be felt for many years to come. The lack of economic growth measured versus the well-being of the citizens far exceeds expectations, but we have survived this with minimal lives lost.
The Democratic Alliance wants to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Mogale City for their support and cooperation during the year, even during extremely difficult times as the mandate given to councillors was addressed meeting after meeting at the Municipality.
Together, we can make Mogale City and its areas the best places to live in!
We also wish to express appreciation to all our residents for the high level of mutual respect and professionalism they have displayed when engaging with our councillors in all aspects.
Cooperation by all stakeholders will ensure that the lives of our residents will become better.
As you celebrate the glory of this miraculous season, let this festive season be characterised by generosity, love and kindness to those who are less fortunate, and let’s make sure that we continue to protect ourselves and our loved ones against Covid-19.
Let us enter 2021 with renewed vigour, with a song in our hearts and hope of peace to all mankind.
The Democratic Alliance salutes you, the people of Mogale City.

Die Demokratiese Alliansie van Mogale City wil graag al die inwoners van ons stad ‘n baie geseënde feesgety toewens.
Ons almal het deur ‘n baie onstuimige jaar gekom, maar feit is ons is nog hier. Sommiges het groot verlies beleef, hetsy deur geliefdes wat gesterf het, of weens ekonomiese uitdagings. Alhoewel hierdie gebeure deel is van die lewe, kyk ons ook vorentoe met ‘n verwagting dat die toekoms iets moois vir ons almal inhou. Ons mag nie nou moed verloor nie, die beste lê nog voor ons.
Kom ons gaan die toekoms tegemoet met ‘n verwagting dat ons net boontoe sal gaan. Kom ons verwag deurbrake, kom ons verwag positiewe verandering, kom ons verwag ‘n ommeswaai.
Ons is daar om elke inwoner te ondersteun om 2021 ‘n wennerjaar te maak. Ons wil elkeen verder tot diens wees soos ons tot nou toe was – om te help met die oplos van probleme, om dienslewering te verseker, om met doelgerigtheid sake in die raadsale te hanteer, om elke inwoner se beste belange te bevorder, en om verantwoordbaarheid af te dwing waar nodig.
Die Demokratise Alliansie sien daarna uit om 2021 saam met u aan te pak en te verseker dat Mogale City tot sy volle potensiaal sal ontwikkel.
Mag die vrede van die feesgety elkeen se deel wees en die nuwe jaar met voorspoed en vreugde beleef word.
