Municipal Offices to be closed between Christmas & New Year
Monday, December 3, 2012
The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality wishes to inform its residents and businesses of the closure of Council offices between Christmas and New Year.
All administrative offices, libraries, selected rates halls and pay-points will be closed on December 24 to 01 January 2012 and will re open on 02 January 2012.
“Essential services such as refuse collection, electricity and water services, will, however, be operational,” explains municipal spokesperson Sam Modiba adding that Emergency Services and the Ekurhuleni Metro Police are also classified as essential services.
“The closure of non essential service offices is to ensure that we accommodate our employees who want to ordinarily take leave and travel to their respective home towns during this season, when residents and business need less service offering from the Metro as well”. Modiba explains.
Meanwhile, the municipality wishes to caution residents and business owners to refrain from giving gifts to on-duty municipal refuse collection staff this festive season.
“The Metro disapproves of the presentation of liquor, or any other form of gift, to its employees while on duty as this practice has a negative effect on service delivery. Communities are also advised to be wary of “informal recyclers” and vagrants who pose as municipal workers and harass residents, demanding presents and cash payments,” states Modiba.
Residents are advised to use the following numbers in cases of emergencies:
EMERGENCY NUMBER: 10177 Toll Free Line
112 Cell Phone
(011) 458- 0911 Life Threatening Emergency Line
0860 543 000 Services Emergency LineThe municipality wishes a merry Christmas and a happy new year to all its customers

INVITATION TO A PUBLIC PARTICIPATION MEETING TO DISCUSS A RATES DISPUTE WITH THE EKURHULENI METRO COUNCIL
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Dear Resident
I’m sure it has become abundantly clear to you as a resident of the Ekurhuleni Metro that service delivery, in almost all areas, is on the brink of collapse, and while the Metro sees fit to pay Patrick Flusk R 4 million for the remainder of his contract, when he was fired for being incompetent and corrupt, we as the resident have to sit without services while our rates are used to pay for the Metro’s ongoing mistakes.
The level of arrogance and incompetence by this Metro is reaching staggering proportions, and we the ratepayer, have less and less input into how our towns and city’s are run. Well we need to take back that power, and our power doesn’t lie in the political party we vote for, our vote will never be sufficient to remove the ANC from government, our power lies in our pocket, we have to vote with our pocket and the way we do that is by withholding our rates from council until they start running our towns and city’s in a responsible, ethical and honest way.
Please attend this important public meeting so that we may have a say in how our towns and city’s are run.
DATE : Wednesday, 3rd June, 2009
TIME : 18:30
VENUE : Bonaero Park Primary School
Cnr Aldergrove and Arlanda Road
Bonaero Park
Kempton Park
GUEST SPEAKER : Jaap Kelder – National Taxpayers Union
FOR INFORMATION : Contact Nicole Barlow – (076) 543 3455
IN THIS CASE YOUR VOTE REALLY COUNTS

Praise for CMS and SAPS
Thursday, February 5, 2009
Clive received the following from a member of the community this morning:
"Dear CliveWell done guys :)
Just wanted to comment that this morning at about 9am I was crossing Cambridge and Kei rd at the stop intersection I saw a police car with two police officers searching a male and taking down his particulars. The man was obviously not going any where nor had any business in Farrarmere. Just the presence of the police had a dramatic impact on on-lookers.
Just please pass on to CMS & police officers to keep up the good work! We really appreciate their efforts."
