The new mayoral committee is tasked with ensuring the acceleration of service delivery in the City of Johannesburg.
“We are reaching out to the City's senior management team, urging them to work with the Government of Local Unity (GLU) in a cohesive and integrated manner. We must work together for and with our residents. We further urge senior management to instill professionalism and increase productivity that is performance driven,” said the Executive Mayor Cllr. Thapelo Amad.
“For the City to achieve its goals, there must be alignment between the GLU mandate and government programmes (IDP, SDBIP) as informed by the Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) 2040.
Our City has lost a lot of time due to indecisive leadership over the past few months. It is time for us as the Government of Local Unity to get back to the basics and serve our residents,” concludes the Executive Mayor.
