City contractors tackle grass-cutting backlog

ETHEKWINI Municipality will resume grass cutting and weed spraying operations this week.

The Municipality anticipates that four cycles of grass cutting will be undertaken and completed between May and December, and areas with overgrown grass will be prioritised.

According to eThekwini Municipality Head of Communications, Tozi Mthethwa, approximately 272 co-operatives from around the municipal area have been engaged on a three-year contract to carry out grass-cutting and weed spraying services in various areas around the City.

“The Municipality would like to thank residents for their patience and understanding while the necessary supply chain management processes were being finalised to ensure that eThekwini is able to provide quality services to residents, while complying with the Municipal Finance Management Act,” she said.
