Nasiphi Moya elected Tshwane Deputy Mayor, assures unwavering commitment
Newly elected Tshwane Deputy Executive Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya assured residents of her unwavering commitment and dedication to the betterment of the city, saying ensuring the improved services to the residents of the City of Tshwane is her utmost priority.
Moya was elected on Thursday with some councillors disputing her election, accusing her of breaking the law.
During her acceptance speech, Moya said that she recognises the weight of the responsibility.
"Though this role as Deputy Executive Mayor is new, the work to ensure that Tshwane and her residents get access to the services they so desperately need is not. I am no stranger to this council. I served for four years as, first, the Group Head of the Office of the Chief Whip then as Chief of Staff to the then Executive Mayor," she said.
She explained that these experiences have enriched her appreciation for the responsibilities demanded by the City's Constitution to shape and improve the quality of life experienced by about 4-millions of its residents.
She noted that ensuring the improved services to the residents of the City of Tshwane is her utmost priority.
Moya said to achieve this, she will ensure that basic services are consistently delivered to citizens on a daily basis. She will accelerate infrastructure development and maintenance to be the crucial driver of the city's growth and that she will monitor the allocation of funds to ensure that funds are used to improve services and give expression to the coalition's pro-poor agenda.
"Moreover, supporting the women and men responsible for front-line services is essential. Their morale, commitment and dedication are vital to our city's success," she added.
Moya said the City must continue to support vulnerable members of the community and provide essential social relief, saying it is the City's duty to uplift and empower those who face economic hardships and to ensure that no one is left behind in pursuit of progress.
She urged councillors lean on her for support and collaboration.
"I would like to take a moment to address my fellow councillors. As we continue to represent our respective wards and communities, I urge you to lean on me for support and collaboration. Let us set aside our political differences and work together in service of the people of Tshwane," she said.
