How do I

All you need to know about matjhabeng services and support, if you do not have your answer please contact us.

MLM - Way Leave


A wayleave is an agreement between the landowner and the Approved Wayleave Holder pertaining to the installation of services within or upon the land or road reserve. Wayleaves are generally used to grant access to the land or road reserve by the Approved Wayleave Holder to install the service. The wayleave relates more to the actual construction activities than to the eventual conveyance of services.

Once the service has been installed, the road authority concerned becomes the owner of the service. Wayleaves can therefore not be used to protect services in favour of the service provider.

No one is allowed to conduct any type of work without an approved wayleave or without following exemptions as provided for in this policy and related by-law..


Wayleave Application Procedure


No service provider, contractor or their agents may commence work within the geographical area falling under the municipality’s jurisdiction without having submitted a wayleave application and receiving municipal approval of same.

All applications for wayleaves shall be made in the Matjhabeng Local Municipality Wayleave Application Form as shown in “Addendum 1” of the Wayleave Policy, accompanied by a covering letter on the applicant’s official letterhead, clearly and comprehensively stating the Wayleave Applicants reasons for requiring the wayleave.

2.2.1. Wayleave Application may be submitted for projects that covers work in any area within the jurisdiction of the Matjhabeng Local Municipality, provided that the position and expected start / end dates of all Work in the road reserve is adequately described under the description of the Work to be done.
