Rustenburg Mall Launches Online Jobs Portal, In Preparation for 2021 Operations

Following the historic sod turning at the site where the Rustenburg Mall is currently being built over a year ago, the Moolman group is pleased to announce a newly launched online jobs portal, for prospective employment. The group has been working closely with the Rustenburg Local Municipality during the construction phase of the mall, for local economic development purposes, to ensure that residents and SMME’s within the locality are exposed to the opportunities that resulted from this development.

With plans afoot to ensure that the mall becomes operational in April 2021, communities are encouraged to visit www.rustenburgmall.co.za and go to “apply for jobs” tab where they will be required to complete the online form with their personal details (see attached leaflet). Rustenburg Mall management and property developers are not employment agents as such, residents are not prohibited form interacting directly with retailers.

Update on the Boitekong water interruption

The interruption was due to the vandalised hydraulic valve system which is on the pipeline supplying water to Boitekong Extensions 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the vandalism was due to an illegal connection into the system which ended up affecting the entire area.
The contractor is currently on site working to fixing the problem. We are confident that the contractor will complete the work successfully.
During the interruption, Water Tankers will continue to be deployed in the area for the delivery of water until the situation has been resolved.
We appeal to the community of Boitekong and surrounding areas to report vandalism.
The Municipality would like to sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Municipality launches modern-day Infrastructure management solutions project(IMQS)

Inadequate planning and inaccurate data capturing and analysis relating to water, sanitation, waste management and related infrastructure will be a thing of the past after the Rustenburg Local Municipality launched the new service delivery digital system, namely; Infrastructure Management Solutions (IMQS), on the 30th January 207, here at the Rustenburg Civic Centre.
“This modern-day digital system will go a long indeed to assist the municipality to discharge its mandate of service delivery effectively and efficiently. We will now through this system be able to budget, establish, maintain, upgrade and operate physical infrastructure assets. We will be able to optimize energy resources and plan proactively for existing and future energy demands, whilst we plan and manage infrastructure projects with excellence by gaining control over expenditure and monitoring costs,” said Acting-Municipal Manager, Mr Gordon Molokwane, during the launch ceremony.
“The introduction of this modern digital system, IMQS, comes as a big relief to us as we are now in a better position to develop plans to ensure efficient, affordable, economical and sustainable provision of water and sanitation services, as well as waste and related infrastructure, thus ensuring quality and timeous service delivery to our residents, as we together continue to move Rustenburg forward,” remarked Executive Mayor, Cllr Mpho Khunou, during the launch.

Attention to open trenches around the CBD area

There are number of trenches which were left open around the CBD area. Such open trenches are a serious concern for both the municipality and the community. Rustenburg Local Municipality has effectively from the previous week embarked on a programme to close those trenches, and the programme shall continue for the next 3 weeks.
The programme on Demand management will start Monday 12 and will run for 2 months in the CBD, Zinniaville and Rustenburg east. In order to release high pressures in the Cuckoo Road area, the municipality will install a 50mm Air Release Valve at the high point in Hoep-Hoep Road. This installation will be on an existing fire hydrant and will commence on Thursday 8 September 2016.
The municipality will further install a Pressure Release Valve on the 300mm bulk supply pipeline to this area to accommodate high pressure flows that could be caused by numerous reasons.  For this particular exercise a programme with accurate dates will be communicated since this would include excavation, shutdown and emptying of pipeline and backfilling.
The rustenburg local municipality apologised for the inconvenience caused.
