The executive mayor of the metro, Clr Mzwandile Masina, and his mayoral committee will travel across Ekurhuleni as part of the Imbizo programme on October 18 and 19.
Masina recently called on the staff of the metro to spend less time in the office and more time on the ground, attending to service delivery issues.
“There can never be enough consultation with the community in local government, because this is the coal face of governance.
“Therefore, our decision to continuously engage with our people remains the primary focus of this administration,” he said.
As part of the two-day Imbizo, the metro has also introduced Siyaqhuba Friday, in which the mayor and his mayoral committee, together with a team of technicians, will visit communities to inspect the living conditions and discrepancies in the supply of service delivery.
“Siyaqhuba Friday focuses on service delivery.
“It is an attempt to accelerate service delivery, while Imbizo affords us an opportunity to give feedback to the community about the road traversed thus far, while getting much-needed input from communities about their expectations and experiences in the work we do,” Masina explained.
