[UPDATE] Nkangala District Municipality: Q3 District AIDS Council Sitting | HIV, TB & STIs Performance Report (Oct–Dec 2025) Nkangala District Municipality, under the leadership of Executive Mayor, Cllr Thomas Ngwenya, convened its District AIDS Council (DAC) for the third quarter of 2025/26. The DAC, a legislatively mandated structure established in line with the South African National AIDS Council (SANAC) framework, ensures a coordinated, multi-sectoral response to HIV, TB, and STIs at district level and integrates these priorities into municipal governance. The sitting reflected strong progress in the district’s response, including high uptake of PrEP, psychosocial support services, and sustained TB treatment success rates. The Department of Education achieved a 97% performance rate, the Department of Social Development surpassed targets in food support, child services and GBVF victim assistance, and the Department of Health exceeded expectations in antenatal ART initiation, PrEP uptake and MDR TB treatment starts. The district also finalised its MDIP, with AIDS Councils at district and local levels continuing to function effectively. Challenges remain, including reduced condom distribution due to supply and safety issues, learner vulnerability and bullying in certain circuits, low acceptance of female condoms, and outstanding MLIPs and Civil Society Forum meetings in some municipalities. The DAC reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening awareness campaigns in schools and communities, improving TB patient follow-up and contact management, and intensifying integrated service delivery and monitoring. To deepen community engagement, the council announced a public awareness campaign to be held on 04 March 2026 at Mhluzi Mall in Steve Tshwete Local Municipality, aimed at educating communities, promoting testing and treatment services, and encouraging active participation to reduce new infections and improve health outcomes across the district. #NkangalaDAC

📢 NCF Day 02 Highlights | Day Two of the National Communicator’s Forum is in full swing, bringing together leading voices to explore the evolving role of communication in municipal and national contexts. The programme features David Mandaha from the IEC and Itumeleng Kungwane from GCIS, who unpack the ethics of municipal communication in election environments. Mpumi Mabuza of Brand South Africa outlines how communication can be positioned within the country’s broader brand repositioning strategy, while media trainer and reputation management expert Themba Septokele shares insights on strategic media engagement in municipal settings. A plenary session on Communicating Through Crisis addresses the urgent need to strengthen community trust during disasters, drawing on lessons from recent floods, fires, and extreme weather events. Representatives from COGTA, SALGA, SAWS, and municipalities discuss practical approaches to emergency communication, tools for raising awareness, and strategies to sustain public trust before, during, and after crises. Breakaway Lab Streams provide space for deeper deliberation on managing institutional trust in networked environments, harnessing digital listening tools, navigating leadership messaging in politically sensitive contexts, aligning local government communication with national branding, and translating NCF learning into practical municipal strategies. #NCF9 #SALGA #InspiringServiceDelivery

We are fine-tuning our strategic presentations for the upcoming Strategic Lekgotla, to ensure NDM meets the highest standards of credibility before hitting the consultative stage. ​Following Section 16 of the Municipal Systems Act, we are committed to developing a culture of municipal governance that complements formal representative government with a system of participatory governance.
