Tshwane Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya made the remarks during a press conference on February 11 in her report back on the successes of the multiparty coalition government over the first 100 days in office.
Moya was joined by the multiparty mayoral committee.
She said that once launched, this app would enable residents to log service requests, track their progress and access billing information, bringing essential services to residents’ fingertips.
She said despite the app, in her 100 days in office she was able to tackle several water challenges within the metro.
She pointed out that one of the most significant achievements has been the progress made in addressing the Hammanskraal water crisis in partnership with Magalies Water and the National Department of Water and Sanitation.
In January 2025, Phase 1 of the Magalies Klipdrift Water Treatment Plant upgrade was completed, which now delivers 12.5 megalitres of treated water per day to four wards in Hammanskraal.
Moya also announced that the metro would move away from estimated billing to actual meter readings.
She pointed that although the metro set a target of 95% actual readings within their first 100 days, they have reached 90%.
She said supply to Mamelodi Reservoir has been significantly boosted and the metro is taking strong action to address illegal connections at Mabopane Main Reservoir.
