At Theewaterskloof we strive toward long term holistic municipal sustainability. This is achieved through:  customer specific communication; good client care and customer relations;  sufficient and effective infrastructure, narrowing the gap between public expectations and municipal ability regarding service delivery and political stability amidst National, Provincial and Local Elections.

The key route for Theewaterskloof Municipality, to achieve its vision is to comply with Acts and sections of Acts that defines the core and secondary mandates and structures of local government; as well as to comply with the objective of the National Development Plan: “Our Vision – Make it Work”. Through this alignment, Theewaterskloof Municipality can unleash its energies to become an effective and sustainable service provider and developmental municipality with good corporate and institutional structures.
