GMM adds to its service delivery fleet
Mayor said the council procured three compacter trucks for waste removal, adding to the 20 it owns, three tipper trucks on top of the existing 10, and one front-end loader.
The Govan Mbeki Municipality mayor, Nhlakanipho Zuma, handed over fleet vehicles for service delivery on December 10.
Zuma said the council procured three compacter trucks for waste removal, adding to the 20 it owns, three tipper trucks on top of the existing 10, and one front-end loader.
“We saw the need to improve the standard of our machinery to be able to clean our areas because some are filthy. If you enter our townships, they are unacceptably dirty because of negligence by the residents and the failure of the municipality to collect the waste on schedule. The fault is on all of us. We appeal to the community to help ensure our areas are clean.
“We have the problem of illegal dumping of waste, which we are trying by all means to clean up, but the next day, the community dumps waste again,” said Zuma.
He said the community should not dump illegal waste when the waste truck doesn’t come to collect waste on schedule.
“We thank the Gert Sibande District Municipality for donating a TLB and a road grader. We promise to take good care of these tools. These extra three tipper trucks will assist in regravelling the 500km and more gravel roads eroded by rain across the municipality,” concluded Zuma.
