Mission & Constitution

The purpose, principles and governing framework of the Tshwane Residents' Alliance for Civic Coordination.

Our mission

To promote transparent, accountable and effective local government in the Moot region of the City of Tshwane by uniting resident associations and community bodies behind one credible, non-political civic voice.

TRACC engages constructively, relies on evidence, and follows every matter through until it is resolved. We act independently, on the mandate of our communities, and strictly in the public interest.
