Mogale City
Mogale City
Mogale City Local Municipality lies directly west and south of the City of Johannesburg and City of Tshwane Metropolitan areas respectively, and forms part of one of the three district municipalities that make up the peripheral areas of the Gauteng province. To the north, west and south it borders onto the Madibeng, Rustenburg and Randfontein Local Municipalities respectively.
Introduction
bringing this milestone to fruition, the Municipality has partnered with the Gauteng Infrastructure Financing Agency (GIFA) to accelerate the sourcing of a suitable private-sector partner and to cooperatively develop a sustainable operational model that ensures long-term growth, financial viability, and tangible benefits for both the community and the tourism sector.
In terms of the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, Mogale City Local Municipality is empowered to exercise control over the Krugersdorp Game Reserve (KGR), designated as a protected area. However, the reserve has been closed for an extended period due to operational and maintenance challenges, which have led to a decline in its facilities, loss of tourism revenue, and deterioration of its natural assets.
Due to competing service delivery priorities, the Municipality currently lacks the financial and technical capacity required to refurbish, develop, and operate the reserve to its full potential. Consequently, the Municipality seeks to engage in a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with a suitably qualified and experienced hospitality, tourism, hotel or recreational facility operator.
