Northam’s streets are looking cleaner and safer thanks to the Thabazimbi Local Municipality’s ongoing Operation Feela programme. Since launching on Monday 4 August 2025, TLM teams have been hard at work removing rubble and unwanted materials from illegally demolished buildings and structures, targeting hotspots such as the Northam taxi rank, Botha Street, Brits Road, and Swartklip Road in Extension 6.

TLM speaker, Cllr Dingaan Joshua Sebata, joined by fellow councillors, municipal manager Gopolang Clement Letsoalo, Northam SAPS, and members of the Community Policing Forum (CPF), rolled up their sleeves to actively participate in the clearing activities. Their joint effort underscored a united commitment to restoring order, enhancing safety, and improving the town’s appearance.

In addition to rubble removal, the operation has identified potential business encroachments into road reserves along Swartklip Road. Several illegal water connections were also detected and closed, further protecting municipal resources.

TLM extended heartfelt thanks to all stakeholders for their dedication and teamwork.
