New road unveiled as part of Public Service Month

TO COMMEMORATE Public Service Month, eThekwini Mayor Councillor Cyril Xaba led a series of impactful activities aimed at improving service delivery and engaging directly with both Municipal staff and the public.



Kicking off the Public Service Month activities on 25 September, Mayor Xaba led a walkabout at the Revenue Customer Services Centre based in the Florence Mkhize Building. During the walkabout, he interacted with frontline staff and observed operations.

Mayor Xaba also visited the Arrears Management Section to assess the revenue clearance and sale in execution processes, reinforcing the City’s commitment to transparency, efficiency, and resident-focused services.

Following this, Mayor Xaba officially opened a newly upgraded 2km blacktop road in Inkangala, Emagabheni. Previously a gravel road, this R6.3 million low-volume road project was designed internally and now connects rural households to the main road, significantly improving mobility and access. The upgrade has positively impacted service delivery, particularly for water tankers that previously struggled to reach the community due to poor road conditions.

Mayor Xaba said water delivery is now consistent and reliable in the area. ‘’We are also encouraged that this project contributed to local economic empowerment, employing several community members, which included women and youth.’’

He added: ‘’The initiative reflects the Batho Pele Principles by placing residents at the heart of service delivery. These activities form part of our 2030 vision.’’
