The City of Tshwane has officially started moving into its new R2 billion headquarters, dubbed “Tshwane House”, which will provide working space for 1,600 city employees.<\/p>\n

The new building, which was constructed on the grounds of the demolished ‘Munitoria’ building, will serve as the City of Tshwane’s HQ for the next 25 years.<\/p>\n

It will also be home to a standalone council chamber with 250 seats, with associated meeting rooms and communication booths.<\/p>\n

According to the city, the\u00a0total cost of the project for the 25 years, including the construction, operations, maintenance and life cycle replacement, equates to a net present value of R1,920,789,640 excluding VAT.<\/p>\n

The project was expected to be complete with full occupancy by December 2016, but was delayed by several months.<\/p>\n

According to city mayor, Solly Msimanga,\u00a0Tshwane House is synonymous with the identity of the\u00a0city, where decisions about the city will be made\u00a0and the future of the city will be moulded.<\/p>\n

“This move gives effect to better coordination and effectiveness of City services as all departments will now be under one roof.\u00a0It sure feels like a new a chapter altogether and we are looking forward to serving our residents under these renewed conditions,” he said.<\/p>\n
