The oversight visit took place on Monday, March 11.

In a statement ELM said as part of the resolutions taken at the recent Strategic Lekgotla, where the Executive resolved to conduct itself in a spirit of “Business Unusual”, the oversight visit was conducted to ensure that work done in the municipality is implemented accordingly and meets desired standards.

Vanderbijlpark, Evaton North, Vereeniging, Duncanville and Unitas Park witnessed the EXCO team in their neighborhoods assessing the quality of the material used for construction, and the overall progress of some of the 40 road rehabilitation projects currently underway in ELM.

To conclude the programme of the day, the EXCO team visited the recently completed Boy Louw undercarriage to get a full understanding of the unfortunate flooding that happened after it was officially reopened for public use by Executive Mayor, Cllr. Sipho Radebe.

The reopening happened last week on Thursday, March 7.

Ntuli said that he is happy with progress made on the projects over such a short period of time.

Ntuli highlighted the necessity of oversight visits and said that they assist in guaranteeing accountability and transparency in the implementation of projects.

Speaking on the authority of the municipality, MM Ntuli urges communities and other stakeholders to work together with ELM in looking after the roads, electricity and all other infrastructure projects currently being rolled out across the Emfuleni.
