Alex’s Sandton traffic controllers applauded for a job well done
The Sandton Central Management District has applauded two Alex residents who are traffic controllers in the Sandton CBD for ensuring a free flow of traffic during load-shedding in the busy precinct.
The Sandton Central Management District has singled out and celebrated the work of two residents of Alexandra for their dedication to ensuring the seamless and smooth flow of traffic in the central business district of Africa’s richest enclave of Sandton.
Simphiwe Hlongwane, a mother of two, is passionate about the safety and security of everyone on the road. She appreciates the positive feedback and gratitude she receives from motorists.
Phakamani Mgaga on the other hand, who joined the Traffic Free Flow project in 2016, feels a strong sense of belonging within the TFF family. When not busy with his 7-year-old, Phakamani enjoys his work’s active and dynamic nature.
The Sandton Central Management District applauds the hard work and dedication of Hlongwane and Mgaga and all the pointsmen and women who contribute to the betterment of Sandton Central and its community.
Elaine Jack, district improvement manager of Sandton Central Management District, encouraged motorists to show their appreciation too. “Next time you see one of our dedicated pointsmen or women, give them a friendly wave. It’s a small gesture that goes a long way in acknowledging their efforts and brightening their day,” she said.
The business district has expressed its gratitude to the committed pointsmen and women stationed at Sandton Central’s busiest intersections, as part of the Traffic Free Flow initiative. Sandton Central is a partner of the initiative through its sponsorship of a unit to assist traffic management at critical intersections in the precinct during a power outage or when traffic lights are out of order.
Sandton Central’s partnership with the TFF initiative eases traffic congestion and positively impacts the community by creating employment opportunities and ensuring the safety of motorists, passengers, and pedestrians.
“We are incredibly proud of this partnership and the pointsmen and women for their dedication and the significant impact they have on our community. Their hard work saves motorists countless hours on the road, and their presence contributes to the overall safety in Sandton Central,” Jack said.
Sandton Central’s partnership and official sponsorship of a dedicated TFF unit kicked off on March 1 this year while the broader pointsmen and women project has been underway since 2005.
