URGENT REPAIRS OF STREET LIGHTS IN WARD 16

We, the residents of Ward 16 in The City of Ekurhuleni, more specifically in Kempton Park Extensions, Kempton Park X2-4, Glen Marais Extensions, Allen Grove, Aston Manor, Nimrod Park and surrounding areas are tired and frustrated due to the lack of repairs of street lights in these areas.

As per the current Service Level Standards (E4.2-E4.3), the turnaround standard is 24 hours. We hereby petition the MMC for Water, Sanitation and Energy, Cllr Tiisetso Nketle, and the Executive Mayor, Cllr Mzandile Masina, to urgently intervene to ensure the Department adhere to the service level standards and to ensure the department has the necessary staff, tools, materials, and vehicles to effectively deal with all street light complaints within the 24 hours Service Level Standards. In addition, we demand the urgent appointment of street light contractors to ensure the adequate functioning of street lights in the community.
