City of Johannesburg tells Alexandra inquiry that it is delivering
14 May 2019
It is not true that the level of service delivery has dropped in embattled Alexandra, the City of Johannesburg has told the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) and the Office of the Public Protector.
City Manager Ndivhoniswani Lukhwareni appeared before an inquiry panel on Tuesday, headed by the chapter nine institutions, where he submitted that there were several rolling projects in place to improve the socio-economic conditions of Alexandra.
The SAHRC and the Public Protector are probing Alexandra's challenges, following violent protests in the area in April.
"The household waste is still collected seven days a week and the issue of illegal dumping happens from Monday to Friday," Lukhwareni submitted.
