The Makhado Municipality has approved its draft integrated development plan (IDP) for the 2024/25 to 2026/27 financial years. This essentially serves as a "wishlist" of the municipality and provide a glimpse of where the taxpayers' money will be spent the next few years.
Although most of the proposed projects are likely to receive residents' approval, some raise eyebrows. One such IDP entry is the proposed R2-million earmarked for Louis Trichardt's municipal swimming pool.
