A TERM SHAPED BY PARTNERSHIP AND SERVICE

The Overberg District Municipality’s final Council meeting of the 2022/2023–2026/2027 term, held on Monday, 26 October 2026, offered an opportunity to reflect on five years of service, shared responsibility and cooperation.

Throughout the term, councillors from the DA, ANC, VF+ and GOOD worked together across political differences in the interests of the Overberg. That working relationship helped Council focus on the responsibilities it shares: supporting communities, strengthening municipal services and advancing the district. The term’s achievements belong to the collective effort of councillors, municipal leadership and officials.

A highlight of the meeting was the conferral of Alderman status on Cllr Steven Fourie, recognising his service and contribution to local government.

Council also congratulated the Municipal Health & Air Quality Services Department on receiving Silver in the “Best Municipal Project – District” category at the Western Cape Government Service Excellence Awards. The recognition was awarded for the Municipal Health Transformation Project, a programme to modernise Municipal Health Services, improve regulatory compliance, strengthen community health protection and create sustainable employment opportunities. Its award reflects the value of investing in services that protect public health while building lasting capacity.

The meeting also marked the Municipality’s 2024/2025 MFMA Clean Audit Status. Standard Bank presented the ODM with a certificate acknowledging the achievement and recognising the collective contribution of Council, municipal leadership and officials. The certificate notes that the outcome was confirmed by the Auditor-General South Africa’s Consolidated General Report on Local Government Audit Outcomes 2024/2025.

As the term draws to a close, these milestones speak to the importance of sound oversight, capable administration and cooperation across Council. They also reflect the work of the people behind municipal services: councillors who set direction, leaders and officials who carry it through, and teams who serve communities every day.

The final meeting was both a formal close to the term and a moment of appreciation for the partnerships that supported its work. The ODM looks ahead with the benefit of those shared efforts and a continued commitment to the people of the Overberg.
