The Parks, Leisure and Cemeteries Department is operating with reduced staff members during level three lockdown.
This is due to the city’s unwavering compliance with Covid-19 regulations that restricts the number of employees in the workplace.
eThekwini Municipality spokesperson Msawakhe Mayisela said, “The municipality is pulling out all the stops to ensure that essential services are not compromised. Priority will be given to the maintenance of parks, verges, public roads islands and caring for the wildlife in all our facilities. The cleaning of public facilities, community halls, the beach and propagation of plants at the nurseries and pruning of trees overhanging or blocking is also being attended to. Due to the shortage of staff, bush clearing, general pruning of trees and stream cleaning will be carried out once the department has cleared the backlogs caused by the lockdown.”
For any further queries, residents can contact district managers at their nearest depots or contact the department on 031-322-4000.
