MEDIA STATEMENT: RESPONSE TO STATEMENT AS ISSUED BY BLOEM WATER It has not been the intention of the Mangaung Metro

Our LOGO with Three Pillars and their respective Curves and Lines provides a reference to the City Skyline and Historical Architecture. The future is our Metropolitan City.

The Left ORANGE Pillar indicates Inspiration – Mangaung is both Changeable and Adaptable. The color of thought represents social communication and is therefore stimulating two way conversations. It aids in the assimilation of new ideas and frees the spirit of its limitations, giving us the freedom to be ourselves. At the same time it encourages self-respect and respect for others. It serves to be a warm and inviting color that is both physically and mentally stimulating to get people thinking and talking.

The BLACK Centre Pillar with Line indicates the Centrality – Mangaung is rooted as being in the Centre of South Africa. The color of authority represents strength, seriousness, power, authority and stability. It is a formal, elegant, authoritative and prestigious color that evokes strong ambitions. It’s precense creates a boosting confidence and also contributes by increasing the sense of potential and possibility.

The GREEN Right Pillar with Curve Line indicates Growth – Mangaung is growing towards a Future of Citizen-Centric Government. The color of life represents renewal, nature, energy and is part of growth, harmony, freshness, safety, fertility and the environment. It has healing power and is restful, relaxing and can help enhance vision and endurance. It is also responsible for attributes that brings hope, health, adventure, renewal, self-control, compassion and harmony.
