Ward 74 councillor commits to dealing with illegal activities and problematic properties in the ward

City of Johannesburg’s integrated operations in Ward 74 resulted in illegal electricity connections being disconnected.

Ward 74 councillor, Belinda Kayser-Echeozonjoku, is relieved that the City of Johannesburg is finally visible and conducting integrated operations in the ward.

This comes after a reporter and the councillor visited a property in Bramley that was being used illegally for recycling.

Kayser-Echeozonjoku said the visit resulted in the disconnection of illegal electricity connections.

“Thank you to our Ward Committee members and the Bramley Residents Association for consistently applying pressure and assisting me in ensuring that the city acts. The photographs shared were taken by Ward Committee members who were on site in Bramley, as I was advised not to be physically present due to safety considerations.”
