City of Tshwane limits its resources over festive period

The City of Tshwane assured residents that measures have been put in place to mitigate challenges that might arise as non-essential municipal services are halted over the festive season.

Licencing centres, daily bus services and meter readings are among those services set to be affected as of December 27.

While these services are only set to resume again in 2024, the council said call centres and email lines will remain operational throughout the festive period.

Residents will not be able to walk into municipal offices to report issues such as potholes, power outages and faulty traffic lights over the festive season.

Commuters who depend on the city’s bus services will be met with some disruptions owing to scheduling changes.

But the city said essential services will not be interrupted, with refuse and maintenance work set to continue throughout the holidays.

Nature reserves and resorts will also remain open throughout to encourage holidaymakers to visit the capital.
