The reinstated mayor of Ekurhuleni DA’s Tania Campbell vowed that she and her mayoral team are going to keep their shoulders to the wheel, and to help turn things around in the failing city’s waste and energy departments.
In a surprise turn of events, ousted Ekurhuleni mayor Tania Campbell has returned as the mayor of the city following a standoff between the ANC and the EFF.
The EFF put forward its councillor Nkululeko Dunga as the candidate for the mayoral position in Ekurhuleni. However, Dunga withdrew his nomination after the ANC put forward Dlabathi for the position. Gwilt said the city is aware of the possible surge in potholes during the period and as part of the government’s back-to-basics programme, plans will be made to intensify pothole repair work.“You can recall that last term when we were here we initiated a pothole programme to fix potholes and I think now that we are back, the programme, which is an initiative of the executive but the function of the city, will carry on. The key thing now is to intensify that programme.
“We have instituted the back-to-basics programme, which allows us to visit communities every single Friday so that I can see on the ground what is happening and not just rely on a report. So yes, we are going to look at that and make corrective measures and see where we can improve. “If you have a look at the first load-shedding then the city lost R2b. For the second stage six load-shedding, I have not received the report as yet, but I do have a forecast that it would not be a favourable one.
“Things have collapsed, services are no longer being rendered, with waste not being collected for weeks.
