Executive Mayor Cllr Mondli Gungubele will be delivering the State of the City Address (SoCA) at the Germiston Council Chamber on Wednesday, March 25.
Important issues relating to poverty alleviation programmes, job creation, inequality, infrastructure development and access to basic services such as water, sanitation and energy will be high on the mayor’s agenda.
“Residents will also hear about the municipality’s economic growth plan with a specific focus on revitalisation of the township economy, regeneration of the manufacturing sector as well as exposing new opportunities that come with the economic growth trajectory – the Aerotropolis,” explains mayoral spokesperson Zweli Dlamini.
The DA had their own State of the City Address on Monday March 23; when they presented their view on the current state of affairs. Key issues addressed were those of financial mismanagement, solid waste disposal, and service delivery in different sections of government. DA caucus leader Cllr Fortune Mahano has rebranded the “Aerotroplis” initiative to the “Careotropolis” and aims to show the people of Ekurhuleni what a caring government looks like in 2016.
