Mondlo gets new temporary municipal offices after arson

AbaQulusi Municipality opens temporary offices in Mondlo to restore services after previous building was burnt.

Temporary offices open after previous building was set alight

Temporary municipal offices were opened by AbaQulusi officials in Mondlo last week. The municipal offices were set alight by frustrated residents in September, allegedly due to the introduction of load-reduction by the municipality.

New facility to serve community needs

The newly-opened offices are set to assist the community with all their municipal needs, and Mayor Mkhwanazi has urged residents to take care of the building.

Speaking at the opening, Mkhwanazi said he loves and cares for the people of Mondlo. “I am here today even in these difficult circumstances, but life goes on. We want to assure you that all the services you need from the municipality will be brought closer to you, without having to pay an arm and a leg.”

Plans underway to build new municipal offices

He further stated that, “As the AbaQulusi council, we will build new offices for the community.” He promised that, in a few weeks’ time, he will come back to introduce the contractor who will build the new municipal offices.
