In a bold display of responsive and people-centred governance, the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport, in partnership with Mogale City Local Municipality, rolled out a high-impact service delivery intervention in Munsieville yesterday, bringing urgent, tangible services directly to residents.
Led by Gauteng MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela alongside Executive Mayor Lucky Sele, the operation mobilised several municipal and provincial departments in a coordinated, all-hands-on-deck effort to fast-track critical community services.
From as early as 08:00, teams were deployed across Munsieville and neighbouring areas to execute rapid service improvements, including:
- Road repairs, refurbishment, and fresh line markings
- Streetlight maintenance and restorations
- Sewer unblocking and burst pipe repairs
- Clearing of illegal dumping hotspot
- Indigent support and on-site registrations
- Title deed handovers to beneficiaries
- Walk-in assistance on municipal accounts, including the Black Friday 100% interest write-off initiative
The intervention also allowed residents to engage directly with senior leadership and service teams, ensuring concerns are addressed on the spot and long-standing issues are unblocked with immediate action.
“We are creating awareness, as we are cleaning our community. People are dumping garbage on the roadside walks we want to talk to communities to refrain from illegal dumping and wait for the municipality to collect garbage from their places. Illegal dumping not only causes diseases but many other societal ills,” said MEC Diale-Tlabela.
“This is government showing up not in a boardroom, but on the streets where services matter most,” said Executive Mayor Sele, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to accelerating delivery and rebuilding trust with communities.
Today’s hands-on intervention forms part of a heightened programme of on-the-ground service delivery activations aimed at boosting government efficiency, strengthening accountability, and reaffirming our administration’s commitment to putting people first
