A meeting was held in Hoërskool Bergvlam’s hall on Tuesday night, March 7, to begin the process of establishing the Nelspruit Residents and Ratepayers Association.
Convened by Pr TJ Maré, who is also the founder of We Care 4 Nelspruit, the meeting was well supported by community members from Ward 12 and 14 to 18 in Mbombela.
Maré emphasised that the association would not be a political party, but would be a way for residents and ratepayers of Mbombela to make their voices heard in matters such as water and electricity issues and student accommodation complaints, to name a few.

He said the association would follow the correct channels and processes to ensure residents’ voices are heard by the City and to help hold those in authority accountable.
Maré is calling on all residents to join the association through filling out an online form, at https://forms.gle/UuZQc2LDry1cGWpe9.
He said the more people to join, the louder the voices of Mbombela’s residents would be.
