Newly-elected Ward 104 councillor Emi Koekemoer has urged residents eager to be active in their community to nominate themselves and others for positions on her ward committee.
The ward serves Fontainebleau, Malanshof, Vandia Grove, Beverley Gardens, parts of Ferndale and surrounding areas.
DA councillor, Koekemoer explained that committees are democratically elected members of a specific ward who are meant to promote community participation.
Their responsibility is to make the municipality aware of the needs and concerns of residents and keep people informed of the activities of the municipality.
They serve for a period of five years and are required to attend monthly meetings where they then inform and advise the ward councillor on the needs of the community.
The ward committee policy requires each ward to elect 10 members to serve on this structure to assist the ward councillor to execute his/her mandate.
Nominations can be done here
Nominations close on February 18 and only registered voters can be nominated.
