Pretoria – All municipal offices of Ekurhuleni Metro will be closed on the upcoming municipal elections day, May 18.<\/p>\n
The City’s spokesperson, Zweli Dlamini, said: “Council’s administrative offices, libraries, selected rates halls and pay points, and other non-essential and non-emergency services will be closed on Wednesday, May 18.”<\/p>\n
However, Dlamini said the offices will reopen the following day on May 19.<\/p>\n
“The closure of municipal offices follows the declaration made by President Jacob Zuma that May 18, the day of the local government elections, will be treated as a public holiday throughout the Republic,” he said.<\/p>\n
According to Dlamini, this is to enable employees to also participate in the municipal elections.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that the performing of emergency and essential services will not be affected by the closure of offices.<\/p>\n
“Residents are furthermore advised that refuse collection will not be affected on the day,” he said.<\/p>\n
The following call centre numbers will be available for any emergencies; 011 458 0911 or 10177 for life threatening emergencies and 086 054 3000 for service emergencies. – BuaNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
