Priorities

Solomon had identified and laid out key areas that she hopes to tackle under her new term, namely:

• Reliable service delivery for water, sanitation, electricity and infrastructure maintenance
• Community safety
• Effective by-law enforcement
• Illegal land occupation
• Environmental protection
• Holding the municipality accountable

Beyond these key areas, Solomon vows to remain committed to protecting vulnerable residents, supporting the elderly and strengthening co-operation between communities, municipal departments and law enforcements.

“Above all, I want to see a municipality that responds to its residents rather than one where residents must constantly fight to be heard,” she said.

Bringing positive change

Solomon said she is deeply grateful to be re-elected as ward councillor for a second term.

“I am deeply grateful to the residents of Ward 66 for once again placing their trust in me,” she said.

With the elections over, she intends to change her focus to serve the community effectively and efficiently.
