Mayor leads inspection of Region 3
Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya, accompanied by members of her mayoral committee, conducted a recent site inspection walkabout around areas in Region 3.
Moya says the region 3 team will be responsible for delivering on the service delivery gaps that have been picked up during their scouting exercise.
Some of the service delivery issues observed include a lack of public toilets, illegal ads, illegal parking, and the reopening of the Reserve Bank offices.
'We took a walk in Sunnyside today to observe the work done by our teams since we launched #ReASpana in November 2024. We've done the work, but we still have a long way to go. The visit today was part of our scouting efforts. We shouldn't wait for people to report problems when we can spot them by being proactive,' Moya said.
She encouraged residents to adhere to by-laws to ensure the city runs smoothly, insisting that lawlessness in the city must come to an end.
'There is a public toilet on Sisulu Street in the CBD. Members of the public can use this facility without the need to urinate in public areas. Just metres from this public toilet, evidence of fresh urine is littered near trees and corners. This is not the city we want to live in,' Moya said.
MMC for Environment and Agriculture, Councillor Obakeng Ramabodu, expressed similar sentiments, particularly calling out male residents who believe the metro is their personal toilet.
'This is what we're experiencing, where people urinate everywhere, even when public toilets are available. We want to call on all our residents to stop this behaviour. Let's take care of our city. We are fighting for a clean city, and you need to join us on this journey. We won't have a clean city when people urinate wherever they feel like, and they have no excuse. There is a toilet just around the corner, so let's work together.'
The mayor also said that the Reserve Bank offices will reopen in August, so inner city residents can expect more congestion.
'The Reserve Bank has been closed for renovations in the past two years. It's expected to reopen in August. Over 2 000 employees will be making their way to work here, adding to the congestion in the CBD. We recently met with the Reserve Bank about preparing traffic congestion control for this transition,' Moya said.
