@helenzille and @Our_DA for your next adventure, how about some tree climbing? @CityofJoburgZA and @JHBWater dug a huge hole and took out a 70-year old tree at 177 Mackay to create an obstacle course. It’s right next to @SuperSportTV for good coverage. Don’t worry about hurrying,
@EdwardShezad@CityofJoburgZA@MyJRA@CoJTransport@MMCKennyKunene It’s natural for a contractor to take shortcuts cause then they can make the most profit. If no one is checking the work and signing it off, then it’s party time. Why even do the work….?
@EdwardShezad@CityofJoburgZA@MyJRA@CoJTransport@MMCKennyKunene In a normal contract like this, there are two parties: 1) the contractor (who needs to be competent to do the job) and 2) a consulting engineer (from the client or City here, who checks the work that the contractor does to make sure it’s up to standard).
@EdwardShezad@CityofJoburgZA@MyJRA@CoJTransport@MMCKennyKunene Leave it too long and you may as well rebuild the road. And with all the excavations by Joburg Water and City Power, where the soil is just tossed back, to fix that will take decades. Do it right and you stay on to of it. Do it wrong and you pay big time.
@EdwardShezad@CityofJoburgZA@MyJRA@CoJTransport@MMCKennyKunene@EdwardShezad you are spot on. What you see on top is worth nothing if the work below isn’t good. When you build a road, you compact in 100-150 mm layers. So if the repair isn’t done to the same standard, then it will fail. Water is the enemy here and is what destroys roads.
@Nedbank The @Nedbank Money App is #broken 🤬 I did a cash withdrawal using the WR code on the Money App and withdrew using a card linked to my current account. @Nedbank took the cash from my credit card. I queried with my “private banker” who is ghosting me. So much for personal touch
@CityofJoburgZA so is this your official update on the #Randburg#Mess ?
@CleanerJoburg had a problem (which first surfaced a few years ago and wasn’t dealt with) on 15 Jan. It’s 12 days later and no end in sight. What must we do? Pull bins in and wait? #FailedCity
Disruptions at Randburg Depot began 15 Jan due to an unlawful work stoppage by casual workers. Matter is under review via lawful governance. We're working to restore services. 🚛

@CityofJoburgZA great thanks. So what are the official channels and what is the latest update on the Randburg Mess?? The last update on the @CleanerJoburg website is May 2024 and all they tweet about is recycling. #FailedCity
