Mayor Nhlapho inspires young minds at Phillip Ndimande
Executive Mayor Clr Vusi Nhlapho brought inspiration and opportunity to Phillip Ndimande Senior Secondary School, following up on his promise to support and uplift young leaders in the community. The visit on June 9 comes on the heels of the Career Expo held at Witbank Dam in May, where learners were exposed to various career paths and mentorship opportunities. During the expo, Nhlapho introduced the 'Mayor for a Day' initiative, selecting an outstanding Grade 11 learner, Moses Zunguza, to experience local government leadership firsthand. As part of the initiative, Nhlapho presented Moses with a brand-new laptop to support his studies. 'This laptop is not just a reward, it's a tool to help you grow and reach your goals,' said the mayor. Principal Simon Mmakolo praised the mayor's commitment to education and youth empowerment. 'This visit means so much to our learners,' he said. 'Moses is a hardworking and promising learner, and this recognition sets a powerful example for the rest of the school.' Moses expressed gratitude for the opportunity and support. 'Being chosen as 'Mayor for a Day' has motivated me even more to work hard. I'm excited to learn, lead, and hopefully inspire others, too.'

Newly handed-over bulk water plant in Hlalanikahle operating successfully, says municipality
The Emalahleni Local Municipality has confirmed that the R19.7 million Hlalanikahle Bulk Water project, handed over to the community in March, is operating successfully. Despite false claims on social media alleging the plant was non-operational, an on-site inspection on May 2 is said to have revealed the facility is fully functional and continues to supply water to the community. Executive Mayor Clr Vusi Nhlapho, accompanied by the MMC for Environmental and Waste Management Clr Nombuso Mokwana, councillors, law enforcement, and technical officials, investigated the allegations. 'The information shared in that video is not only incorrect but also damaging and misleading,' said Nhlapho. 'Deliberately spreading misinformation wastes resources and undermines public trust.' The municipality has urged residents to verify facts before sharing information. 'Let's build, not break, our community,' said Nhlapho. 'We need facts, not fear.'
