Metro spokesperson Themba Gadebe says: “The park is maintained on a monthly basis as per our grass-cutting schedule and our grass-cutting season has only commenced now in November.
“Due to tight management of financial resources, grass cutting at parks, public open spaces and main roads is done once a month.
“Furthermore, it should be noted that we do not cut grass during the winter season.”
