With the end of the current year fast approaching, Ekurhuleni mayor Mzwandile Masina has reached out to residents to wish them a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

“It is through their most profound dedication and diligence that we as the metro are counted among the very best, and we are grateful to them for being the embodiment of the values underpinning our governance model, Batho Pele.
“Speaking of our commitments, we can proudly speak of them as having been immensely achieved.
“Among them are the handover of title deeds that we did through our accelerated service delivery programme Siyaqhuba, connecting of electricity to informal settlements, building of roads and new infrastructure and, more importantly, collecting refuse every week and providing clean water every day to our residents,” says Masina.
