Women’s Day celebrations

The Executive Mayor celebrated women’s day with women from all over the district. The event was held at the J. Shimane community hall in Paballelo, and was attended by women from all walks of life.
The Executive Mayor of Siyanda, Mrs. ZS Mjila indicated the importance of women’s day. “No matter how your circumstances might be, you must be determined to make a change in your community,” she said.
The keynote speaker was the MEC for Environmental Affairs and Nature Conservation, Mrs. Sylvia Lukas. She indicated in her speech the importance of women working together. The events of 1956 will always be historic and it is important that women follow the example set by those that participated in the 1956 protest, in that they stood up for their rights and insisted on equality.   
At this event cash prizes were handed over to women who participated in the “value of a woman” competition, at this competition women got the opportunity to debate about what it means to be a woman.
The Siyanda District Municipality handed over a cheque of R100 000 to the Siyavuka Laundry Cleaning Services, a small business run by women.

Our Vision

In June 2009 the Council of Siyanda District Municipality adopted a new vision for the municipality. The previous vision “To be a model economically developed district where there is quality of life for our citizens” has been changed to “Basic Services for all.”

The new vision encompasses in one sentence what Siyanda District Municipality is all about. In this time when citizens are eager for services to be rendered, we say that we make it our business to render services to all citizens of the district. 

Our Mission

To enhance economic development for the benefit of the community of the Siyanda district area. We do this by creating and maintaining an effective administration and a safe environment to attract tourists and investors.
