City departments and entities join forces to render a variety of services focusing on hotspots identified by the region and ward councillor.
“The City of Johannesburg came to offer their services in November of last year, but since I was unavailable, I was not able to participate in the program.
“Honestly, I was not satisfied with their work, which is why I decided to request their services again and without being said I’m very delighted with their services today and appreciative that they answered my request. ” said Magwaza.
