ETHEKWINI Municipality’s Cleansing and Solid Waste Unit (DSW) staff will be working throughout the festive season including Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
EThekwini Municipality’s Deputy Head of Communications, Mandla Nsele, said that while it is the season of giving, DSW staff are strictly prohibited from touting for gifts, including money, from residents. He said residents are advised to also be wary of impostors posing as municipal workers to solicit gifts.
