JUMPAS - "We need the community to be active in our ward and to get involved.”
Freddie Yende is a community leader at Jumpas informal settlement and ward 118 committee member.
Yende has been living in Jumpas for four years.
“When I first came to Johannesburg, I was looking for a job. I worked for a few months but my contract ended.

He said he listens to the views of the community and holds regular public meetings with all community members.
“I communicate with our councillor when I identify challenges the residents are facing.
