IHLALANKOSI - THE HEART OF THE ZULU KINGDOM

His Worship the Mayor,

Cllr Mbekezeli Emanuel Zondo

I assumed office on 30 June 2025 under the banner of the IFP, EFF and NAPF coalition, fully aware of the immense responsibility entrusted to me by the people of Nongoma. Our beautiful municipality carries a rich history, deep cultural heritage and resilient communities; yet it continues to face pressing challenges relating to service delivery, infrastructure development and the provision of basic services. It is against this backdrop that our administration has committed itself to leading with purpose, urgency and accountability.

From the outset, we have made it clear that improving road infrastructure is one of our highest priorities. For far too long, many of our wards have struggled with poor or inaccessible roads, limiting mobility, hindering economic activity and compromising access to essential services. Our goal is to ensure that all 23 wards of Nongoma Municipality have functional, reliable and well-maintained access roads that support development and improve quality of life.

OUR VISION

To be caring and responsive municipality. Guided by UBUNTU/BOTHO.

MISSION

Inspired by the philosophy of ukuzakha nokuzenzela, we will provide timous and sustainable services.

OUR GOALS

Improve institutional efficiency and effectiveness - Improve financial viability and sustainability.
