Town Hall

The Town Hall represents Makhanda's municipal administration—the engine behind service delivery, budgeting, land-use approvals, and local governance. What separates functional municipal administration from dysfunction is not always visible, but it shapes everything residents experience: whether roads get potholed faster than they're repaired, how quickly building plans are processed, whether water supply is consistent, and how transparent decision-making actually is. A well-run municipality maintains records efficiently, responds to public queries, manages council meetings properly, and tracks financial accountability. In reality, municipal performance varies significantly, and residents should expect clear communication about services, accessible channels for complaints, and reasonable timelines for administrative decisions.
