The Saldanha Bay Municipality intends to construct two raised pedestrian crossings in Golden Mile Boulevard from 24 August 2026 until 4 September 2026. During the construction period, there will be minimal traffic disruption for short periods of time.

The first raised pedestrian crossing will be constructed from 24 August 2026 to 28 August 2026. There will be a stop and system in place between Blinkwater Avenue (62 Golden Mile) and Bokmakierie close (112 Golden Mile) to ensure the successful completion of the project.

The second raised pedestrian crossing will be constructed from 28 August 2026 to 02 September 2026. There will be a stop and go system in place between Swart Tobie Close (220 Golden Mile) and 252 Golden Mile to ensure the successful completion of the project.

Motorists can also make use of alternative routes, were applicable, to minimise disruption.

The Saldanha Bay Municipality calls on all its residents, businesses, and consumers at large to stay informed and remain vigilant against the growing threats of bribery, scams, fraudulent activities, and corruption in our communities.

We are receiving increasing reports of the following illegal practices:
🚫 Fake job offers and fraudulent job interviews being arranged under the false pretext of municipal employment
🚫 Individuals impersonating municipal officials to gain trust or payment
🚫 Threats of service disconnection (electricity or water) unless a fee is paid or a specific number is called
🚫 Illegal electricity tokens being sold at a so-called “discounted tariff” – these are not valid
🚫 Fraudsters promising tender awards in exchange for payment – this is a scam and a criminal offence

Be aware: The Saldanha Bay Municipality does not charge for job applications, interviews, or tender awards, nor do we make threats to disconnect services in exchange for payment.

How to Report Suspicious Activity:
If you suspect any bribery, corruption, scams, or fraudulent behaviour, do not stay silent.

We have noticed an increase in fraudulent activities where fraudsters pretending to represent the Municipality contact tenderers via e-mail, WhatsApp or telephone, requesting that a payment be made directly to them, to enable the Municipality to make an award or improve the service providers’ chances in receiving the award.

The Saldanha Bay Municipality distances itself from such activities and will never request a tenderer to make a payment.

Please inform the Supply Chain Management Department on 022 701 6916 should you receive any suspicious communication.
