I am writing this as a concerned citizen of the South of Johannesburg.
We at Ward 124 are very eager to take part in the A Re Sebetseng programme and yet our mayor has not made any plans or given any communications as to when we will start cleaning up our area.
Our ward councillor does nothing about it. There are many of us who are concerned about this. Let us take a stand and make Johannesburg clean.
Please help us to get the attention of the ward Clr Mongameli Mnyameni so that we can clean our area.

Response from Clr Mongameli Mnyameni
Thank you very much for the email that was sent to you by the concerned resident of Ward 124 and thanks for forwarding to me.
It gives me pleasure to inform you that the community of Ward 124 had adopted the same initiative to clean our streets a long time ago even before Clr Mashaba came to power.
It was done by the volunteers of the ANC including the community members. During that operation they involved Pikitup so it can provide the plastic bags for the rubble collected and be taken away by Pikitup trucks.
So in my two months as the councillor of Ward 124, I have already called four public meetings where all those meetings were published or circulated across the demographic of the ward for everyone to be aware of it.
In those public meetings I have notified or informed the community about the mayor’s programme but no one was interested.
But any member of the community is free to participate in cleaning our community and I support that.
