The City of Johannesburg (CoJ) and Johannesburg Water (JW) are inviting suitable, Ward 70-based candidates to apply for one of two Community Liaison Officer (CLO) positions on their new project.
JW and CoJ have planned to replace a large portion of water pipes in Fleurhof and are therefore calling on small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) to apply for CLO positions on the project.

The contract will run for six months and all CVs must be submitted with a copy of the applicant’s ID, Matric Certificate, and proof of residence. Ward 70 councillor, Caleb Finn, stated that his office will be verifying whether applicants reside in Ward 70 or not.
