THE City of Ekurhuleni has recently noted that the customer service call centre has been experiencing technical glitches.
This results in callers being cut off before they are even assisted upon the time of lodging their complaints.
The cut-off happens mainly when callers select an option they are prompted to select.
The IT department is currently attending to the glitches.
In a statement, the divisional head of communication, Nhlanhla Cebekhulu, said: “The City has, as an interim measure, eliminated the prompt option so that calls are routed directly to any available call centre agent. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.”
He said customers may still be able to log their queries through the call centre at 0860 543 000, or alternatively use My Ekurhuleni App to access services.
The App is also well-suited with feature phones (non-smartphones), and customers may use those devices to report service delivery issues via a USSD (*134*30263) option, at no cost.
