We envision a Mbombela where transport is not just about moving from A to B—it is about
connecting lives, enabling opportunity, and driving prosperity.
The City of Mbombela’s Executive Mayor, today formally Relaunched the Transport Forum under the theme “Moving Mbombela Foward: “Building a Connected, Safe, and Prosperous Future through transport”
The Executive Mayor acknowledged the issues and challenges faced by the industry on a daily basis, namely truck stops, safety concerns and funding gaps.
In her remarks, the Executive Mayor emphasised that the “forum is not a talk shop. It is a working platform—a place where taxi associations, bus operators, commuters, councillors, and officials come together with a single mission: to solve, to innovate, and to build”.
For this is a forum where every voice matters, where ideas converge, and where collective action becomes reality.
In concluding her keynote address she emphasised on moving Mbombela forward together and she with the Municipal Manager Wiseman Khumalo, MMC Mbowane, MMC Mathe, GM Ndou and all the stakeholders in the transport industry signed a pledge.
