PATENSIE<\/strong> – A fourth high-mast light was erected in Weston in Patensie on Friday, 30 January 2026, as part of Kouga Local Municipality’s ongoing public lighting and safety programme for the 2025\/26 financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This installation forms part of a broader rollout of 11 high-mast lights planned for year one of the project, with locations identified across various wards based on priority needs for public security lighting.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly erected mast will complement the three existing high-mast lights already installed in Weston, further enhancing nighttime visibility and contributing to improved safety and security for residents.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Executive Mayor, Hattingh Bornman, said the project reflects the municipality’s commitment to creating safer communities through targeted infrastructure investment.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Public lighting plays a critical role in improving safety and giving residents greater peace of mind,” said Bornman. “This high-mast light, together with others being rolled out across the municipality, demonstrates our focus on responding to ward-level priorities and ensuring that communities benefit directly from infrastructure funding.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once installation is complete, the high-mast light will become operational immediately. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lighting system operates on an automatic day\/night photocell switch, activating at night and switching off again at sunrise without the need for manual intervention.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high-mast lighting programme is being implemented over a two-year period and is funded through the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG). \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding allocated for the first year of the project (2025\/26) amounts to R7 million, with an additional R5 million earmarked for the second year (2026\/27).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bornman added that the municipality remains committed to equitable service delivery across all wards.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are using available grant funding responsibly to improve basic services such as lighting, which has a direct impact on the quality of life of our residents,” he said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project extends beyond Weston, with additional high-mast lights planned in other communities. Positions for seven more high-mast lights in year two of the rollout are still to be finalised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
