Fetakgomo Tubatse unveils new vehicle fleet
A fleet of new vehicles was unveiled at the Civic Centre in Burgersfort on May 8, with the aim of improving service delivery to the residents of Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality (FTLM).
The mayor, Cllr Eddie Maila, handed over the new waste management vehicles to the municipality's Department of Community Services and a tractor loader backhoe (TLB) to infrastructure development and technical services.
The fleet consists of one compactor truck, a refuse waste cage truck and a TLB. The new fleet will be utilised to extend the provision of waste management services to rural areas.
This is part of the FTLM's efforts to create a safer and cleaner environment within communities and to mitigate the effects of climate change. Maila applauded management for procuring the new fleet to expand municipal services to far-flung and rural areas.

He urged the operators to take care of the new fleet, to expedite service delivery and to save costs for the institution.
Maila also warned that laziness by municipal workers would not be tolerated.
'We aim to fix all roads in the municipality. Gone are the days when workers will just relax in their offices and do nothing. If trucks are broken, report this matter to the offices so that replacement parts can be purchased.
Workers not willing to accelerate services, can leave their posts in peace and they will be replaced by people willing to do the work,' Maila said.
'I believe the FTLM is on the right path to creating better communities. The municipality is eager for the enhancement of service delivery,' he concluded.
