17 October 2025- The Mahikeng Local Municipality said it has noted with concern a message circulating on social media alleging that a tender involving the municipality, the Department of Public Works & Roads, as well as SANRAL has been awarded, and that a related meeting will take place at Mmabatho Stadium.
The municipality said it wishes to place it on record that these claims are false and misleading.
The executive mayor of Mahikeng Local Municipality, Tshepiso Mphehlo said there is no such tender process or meeting authorized or coordinated by the municipality in collaboration with the said entities. Mphehlo said residents are urged to treat this information as inaccurate and to refrain from sharing or acting on unverified messages circulating online.
“The municipality continues to uphold transparency and due process in all its operations, including procurement matters. Members of the public are reminded that official municipal announcements and engagements are communicated through verified municipal channels and spokespersons.
“The municipality remains committed to providing accurate information and serving the community with integrity and accountability,” he said.
