The ghastly sight of dumping sites, graveyards begging to be maintained, bathtub potholes, rubbish on the streets, non-functioning street lights and other service delivery failures have been part of the municipality for months.
The town is arguably a shadow of its former self but the executive mayor has promised to intervene.
In a turnaround initiative to restore it to an impeccable state, the J.B. Marks municipality kick-started an intensive cleaning campaign on Tuesday.
Workers cleaned illegal dumping sites, patched potholes, cut overgrown grass, cleared the cemeteries, installed road signs and fixed the street lights, among other things.
The campaign will be rolled out in all the wards, including Ventersdorp
Overgrown grass near the hostel was cut during the campaign.
At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
