According to CoE, the decision to suspend these meetings comes as part of the city’s ongoing commitment to reconfigure and prioritise the delivery of basic services such as clean drinking water, sanitation, electricity, shelter, waste removal, and fixing potholes for the community.
While these meetings are temporarily suspended, CoE said it remains dedicated to finding alternative ways to ensure that community voices are heard and that important matters continue to be addressed.
Although it is not categorised as a priority for now, standardisation of geographical name features remains a constitutional obligation as per the provision of the South African Geographical Names Act 118 of 1998.
