SHARPEVILLE. – In an effort to accelerate service delivery in  Emfuleni Local Municipality (ELM), Mayor Gift Moerane  today launched 45 new service delivery vehicles.

The 45 vehicles  were acquired through a transversal contract from National Treasury known as RT57 transversal contract. The contract serves to minimize acquisition delays of normal procurement whilst ensuring full compliance with  supply chain regulations.

The new fleet will complement the existing municipal vehicles also on display at the launch. This is part of the replacement strategy to ensure optimal operation of vehicles that will be assigned to specific prioritised service delivery departments.

Moerane states that the new fleet is public property purchased from the public purse of the people of Emfuleni. “I expect the uppermost care by our employees in respect of the current overstretched resources.  It is the municipality’s commitment to the residents of Emfuleni to deliver quality services.”
