The Merafong City Local Munici- pality confirmed on Monday that the municipal licensing offices are open and operational. “The testing station is not yet open; the offices will be open from the beginning of July.
“The municipality, in conjunction with the provincial department, has ensured that it is fully compliant with the Covid-19 regulations. We have made sure that clients and staff will be safe in the work environment,” a municipal spokesperson said.
