"KwaKhisela community to benefit from an Electrification Project through Eskom"

The entourage proceeded to KwaKhisela community to hand over an electrification project with the purpose of improving the lives of the residents through service delivery.

Executive Mayor expressed her gratitude to the residents for being patient with the municipality pertaining their long waited outcry for electricity. She also voiced out how frustrating and costly it is to be in a situation where you have to buy meat for a day just because you do not have a fridge to store enough. She then concluded by officially handing-over the project to the residents.

Thuli Madonsela from Eskom introduced the contractor to the community and edged them to work with the contractor, not to temper with the material and equipment to be delivered. She emphasized that a fine for illegal connection of electricity will be charged should you be found connected illegally, and also pleaded the residents not to distract the project in anyway and the Kotana contractor outlined the number of temporal workers that will be required for the project, and also the payment rate for 'umgodi' of different sizes.

One resident, on behalf of the community expressed their warm gratitude and happiness for the service the municipality has delivered for them.

Indeed service delivery is the Municipality’s priority to its communities.
