Ward 12 residents are today attending a community meeting to discuss issues of service delivery. The agenda includes the billing system, crime rates and loadshedding. #Asakhe
Ward 12 councillor, Lilian Mlilo, implores residents not to agree to people who offer to swipe for them at revenue halls when they have foreign currency as council also needs the same to improve service delivery. #Asakhe
Cllr Mlilo says residents sometimes are responsible for sewer bursts in the ward as they throw such things as towels, stones and pampers into man-holes. #Asakhe
Cllr Mlilo raises concern that the ward now has a high crime rate and she urges residents to be alert and report criminals as well as work well with the neighborhood watch committee. #Asakhe
