Yesterday the municipality sent a circular to all its staff and associated employees and service providers informing them about the sudden closure.
The Sekhukhune district municipality in Limpopo has temporarily closed down its offices after 11 employees tested positive for Covid-19, while 45 others wait for test results. The district will again be operational on Monday next week.
“The offices will be reopened on Monday the 20th July 2020. It must be noted that this should not be viewed as a holiday, but all must work from home, and service delivery should not be disrupted, reads the circular in part.”Municipal spokesperson, Moloko Moloto, said it was becoming difficult to work from the offices while many of their employees were in isolation or in quarantine. He said the majority of those sick from the deadly virus were officials working from the office.
“The police stations are Westenburg in the Capricorn district and Morebeng in the Mopani district. Temporary arrangements for the provision of policing services have been made as follows: The closing down of the police stations comes right on the foot of three other police stations – the Maake, Bolobedu and Seshego police stations in the Mopani district and the Capricorn districts – were closed down last week.Machaba urged employees who present flue-like symptoms to stay at home until they recover and commended managers for responding to the report with speed.
