Mogale City Local Municipality and the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport launch a two-week programme delivering urgent services directly to Swaneville residents.



A service delivery intervention was launched in Swaneville on January 12.



According to the head of communications for Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM), Adrian Amod, the two-week programme is a joint initiative between MCLM and the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport, bringing urgent, tangible services directly to residents.



The operation mobilises multiple departments to fast-track critical community services. Teams are working in and around Swaneville to carry out rapid service improvements, including:



• Roadblocks and by-law enforcement

• Road repairs, pothole refurbishment, and fresh line markings

• Streetlight maintenance and restoration

• Sewer unblocking and burst pipe repairs

• Clearing illegal dumping hotspots and providing environmental education

• Indigent support and on-site registrations

• Awareness of social upliftment and development programmes

• Customer assistance on municipal accounts, enquiries, and licensing services

• Business compliance, licensing, registration awareness, and support



“The programme also gives residents a chance to engage directly with senior leadership and service teams, ensuring concerns are addressed immediately, and long-standing issues are resolved,” Amod added.



Gauteng MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela praised the initiative but called on residents to play an active role in shaping their communities through volunteering, advocacy, and shared responsibility, particularly in tackling challenges like illegal dumping.



Councillor Francis Makgatho, MMC for Public Safety, said the intervention builds on the success of the Munsieville programme, extending hands-on service delivery to where it matters most.



Amod concluded that the intervention reinforces government accountability and efficiency, strengthens community engagement, and demonstrates the administration’s commitment to putting people first.
