๐ŸŽ‰ Empowering Local Organisations through Financial Management

In our ongoing commitment to support and strengthen local organisations, the municipality recently hosted a successful Financial Management Workshop in Klapmuts. This initiative aims to help organisations not only meet the minimum requirements of the Grant-in-Aid policy but also equip them to apply for funding from other sources.

The workshop focused on improving governance, financial management, and reporting, with an emphasis on the critical responsibilities of tracking income and expenditure, maintaining proof of transactions, and ensuring accurate financial reporting on a daily, monthly, and annual basis.

Professional accounting firms provided valuable insights and practical examples, ensuring that participants left with the knowledge to enhance their financial practices. This is a vital step in capacitating our communities and empowering organisations to continue their important work!

90 Representatives from a range of organisations attended, including:

โžก๏ธ 68 Early Childhood Development Centres (ECDs)
โžก๏ธ 5 ECD Organisations
โžก๏ธ 1 Youth Organisation
โžก๏ธ 6 Elderly Clubs
โžก๏ธ 2 Sport Organisations
โžก๏ธ 6 Social Development Organisations

We are proud to work together to strengthen financial management and create a more sustainable future for all!

Stellenbosch Municipality is thrilled to announce the launch of the Stellenbosch Junior Town Council (JTC), an innovative platform designed to get young people involved in the workings of local government. This exciting initiative will bring together Grade 10 and 11 learners from schools across the municipality to collaborate on campaigns, address socio-economic issues, and develop essential leadership skills.

The JTC is a non-political programme aimed at fostering a sense of civic responsibility and empowering young people with the skills and confidence needed to effect positive change in their communities. The initiative provides a platform for learners to grow as individuals and ambassadors for their town while gaining firsthand experience in local government operations.

The Stellenbosch Junior Town Council provides an invaluable opportunity for learners to:
โ€ข Become ambassadors for Stellenbosch;
โ€ข Develop leadership and community project management skills;
โ€ข Enhance their understanding of local government;
โ€ข Cultivate a culture of active citizenry.

Through this initiative, the Municipality seeks to nurture the next generation of community leaders, equipping them with the tools to engage meaningfully in civic life and inspire change.

Selection Criteria and Process

The Junior Town Council will select learners through a three-phase application process. The selection process will assess each applicant’s leadership potential, commitment, and intellectual preparedness, with emphasis on essential qualities such as:
โ€ข Personal ownership,
โ€ข Interdependence,
โ€ข Courage,
โ€ข Commitment,
โ€ข Perseverance.

The Municipality values diversity and encourages applications from learners of all cultures, religions, and viewpoints. Candidates will be evaluated based solely on their capacity for leadership and grade level, ensuring equal opportunity for all.

Application Process Overview:
1. Phase 1: Learners will be screened by the selection panel based on their grade and school.
2. Phase 2: Shortlisted candidates will complete an online test, requiring a minimum score of 80% to progress to the next phase.
3. Phase 3: In the final phase, candidates will participate in an in-person interview, during which they will present a 1-minute speech outlining their leadership project.

Get Involved

Grade 10 and 11 learners from schools within the Stellenbosch Municipal boundary are invited to apply for a one-year voluntary term on the Junior Town Council. Applicants must ensure they can commit to the programme, which requires participation in activities at least one Saturday a month. This is an opportunity for motivated youth to engage with real-world challenges, develop their leadership capabilities, and represent their communities on a municipal platform.

Welcome

Stellenbosch lies roughly 50 km to the east of Cape Town and is - after the Mother City - the oldest town in South Africa.

The 900 square kilometres municipal area is internationally renowned for its beautiful environment, many places of interest, wine farms, street cafes, restaurants, quality wines, historical buildings and excellent educational institutions.

The major portion of the area is utilised for agriculture (mainly wine production) and it includes the major towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek as well as settlements such as Klapmuts, Koelenhof, Kylemore, Johannesdal, Pniel, Kayamandi, Cloetesville, Ida’s Valley, Jamestown and Raithby.
