The City of Tshwane Mayor, Randall Williams, conducted an oversight visit to region 2 areas, Temba, Hammanskraal and Soshanguve to assess first-hand service delivery issues and monitor progress on Monday, 16 August 2021.
During the visit the Mayor was accompanied by MMC’s Dikeledi Selowa, Dana Wannenburg and Sylvester Phokoje together with Tshwane reginal officials and ward councillors.
Williams expressed satisfaction with the work that was being done, with Tshwane team fixing streetlights, road works and water leaks. The oversight was also an opportunity to identify service delivery gaps.
“It is important that as an administration we keep in touch with our residents and the reality on the ground,” said Williams.
Williams also took time to inspect upgrades at the Soshanguve substation.
“The substation was constructed with a 132/11kV and 132/33kV electrical topology to supply the majority of customers within the Soshanguve area,” he said.
He said the Soshanguve substation upgrade project is expected to be completed by July next year.
“So far the city has spent over R70 Million in the project and a further R25 Million has been budgeted for in the current 2021/22 financial year,” Williams said.
Williams has assured residents that he will continue to do oversight visits in all regions of the City to ensure that services are delivered.
