Who is the MPOA?

Mossel Bay Property Owners Association (MPOA) is a non-political, independent group of Property owners in Mossel Bay who are concerned about the state of Mossel Bay Municipality (MBM). The media pretends that MBM is the best managed of all Municipalities in the country; but we are not convinced. Politics in the Municipalities of South Africa have devastated our country. The only path to recovery is: remove politics from municipalities, and return the suburbs and towns for the people to manage. THIS IS THE ONLY ROAD TO RECOVERY OF OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY THAT HAS BEEN DEVASTATED BY POLITICS IN 30 YEARS.

Mossel Bay Municipality failed its citizens
Mossel Bay Municipality has failed to uphold its responsibilities to the community. A 100% increase in municipal rates over five years—80% above inflation—is not only economically indefensible, but a profound insult to the very residents the municipality is meant to serve. Such excessive escalation reflects a disregard for the financial realities of ratepayers and undermines the principles of fairness, accountability, and public trust.

Biodiversity Offset Framework Plan – Aalwyndal,& Hartenbos Mossel Bay
We strongly oppose the adoption of the proposed Strategic Biodiversity Offset Framework Plan. While conservation is a shared imperative, this framework unfairly burdens private landowners with disproportionate financial obligations and strips them of fundamental property rights. The imposition of annual levies reaching R16,500 per hectare, compulsory membership in a Master Homeowners Association, and rezoning mandates—without adequate public consultation or opt-out mechanisms—amounts to coercive governance.

Agenda 2030

Agenda 2030 is the United Nations' global action plan to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. It aims to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all. The agenda promotes inclusive growth, environmental sustainability, and social equity through international cooperation and transformative change.
Problems wit Agenda 2030
Agenda 2030 faces criticism for being overly broad, underfunded, and difficult to implement. Progress is uneven, with many goals stalled or reversed. Conflicting targets, vague priorities, and high administrative costs hinder effectiveness. Global crises like pandemics and climate change have further disrupted momentum and exposed structural weaknesses

Budgets and IDP - Meetings

A Municipal Budget is the financial plan for how a municipality will collect and spend money to deliver services like water, electricity, roads, and waste management. An IDP is a 5-year strategic plan that outlines a municipality's goals for development and service delivery. The IDP sets the vision, and the budget provides the money to make it happen.
September 2025 - IDP and Budget Meeting
In an IDP Budget meeting, municipalities present the draft Integrated Development Plan and budget priorities for the upcoming financial year. This includes service delivery targets, infrastructure projects, financial allocations, revenue sources, and community needs. Stakeholders review alignment with strategic goals, assess feasibility, and provide feedback. Public participation is key to ensure transparency and accountability. The meeting also outlines timelines, performance indicators, and how the budget supports long-term development objectives.
