Emfuleni Kicked out of OK Building for Good

The Emfuleni Local Municipality (Evaton, Sebokeng, Vaal Oewer, Vanderbijlpark, Vereeniging) has been kicked out of the OK Building in President Paul Kruger Street, Vanderbijlpark, for good with the owners finally terminating the lease due to the Municipality’s failure to pay rent.

The Building housed the Department of Finance, and the owner notified the Municipality in December 2025 that the contract would terminate on 31 May 2026.

Yet the Municipal Manager, April Ntuli, waited until this Wednesday to instruct workers to vacate the Building by today (Friday).

Three months ago, the Municipality decided to stop paying the monthly rent of R1,4 million.

Instead, a large part of the Absa Building in FW Beyers Street was leased at R1,2 million per month.

A recent visit, however, revealed that this Building is not yet ready to accommodate the 220 officials. Contractors are still renovating offices and there is no internet connection, so, the service centre cannot process enquiries or payments.

This is just the latest instalment in a long history of mismanagement, which compelled the owner of the OK Building to lock its doors on several occasions until the outstanding rent was paid. In addition, the parking area was once flooded with sewage when a pipe burst.

Emfuleni residents are paying the price for an administration that is unable to meet its basic commitments.

An official letter was sent to the Municipal Manager, demanding an explanation for the failure to pay the rent as well as the failure to have the Absa Building ready in time.

It is time to put a stop to the ANC’s maladministration plaguing communities.

Residents must ensure that they are registered to vote on 4 November for the Freedom Front Plus — the party that puts residents’ needs first.
