Community ask about the Municipal Pound and parks

A stray Alsation was noticed in Hospital Steet, outside the Civil Services offices. After numerous attempts to contact the Municipal Pound (no one ever answered the telephone) I got thorough to them and asked them to fetch the dog. The pound eventually fetched the dog only the next day.

I managed to find a good home for the dog and upon trying to make arrangements for the new owners to pick up the dog on Monday, I was told by the Pound Supervisor that the dog jumped over the wall while they wanted to bath the dog; the poor thing is now running around the dumps.

Kindly investigate the lack of service as experienced by myself and many other animal lovers. Thank you

The pound is almost ready, we are going to advertise for an operator so that it becomes efficient and assist where it should be assisting.

In the meantime, please bear with us. I will investigate why calls are not being answered there and why response time is so long.

Morning Mr Mayor. I reside in Madadeni section 1, and would like to find out if there is anything that could be done with the vacant space next to the two schools, Qhubeka P. School and Vukani Primary school. The place was a park 20 years ago and was destroyed. We would appreciate if it can be rebuilt as a children’s park again.

Our kids don’t have any place to play especially on school holidays. Thank you

I will ask the Parks Department to investigate that.
