06 December 2013	TRIBUTE TO MADIBA   06 December 2013 ____________________________________________________________________________ TRIBUTE TO FREEMAN OF JOHANNESBURG, NELSON ROLIHLAHLA MANDELA The City of Johannesburg pays tribute to the memory of its un-equalled resident, gallant fighter and Father of the Nation and legacy of the most loved and celebrated resident, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. Nelson Mandela was awarded the Freedom of the City of Johannesburg in 2005. This necessitates that the city, as an organ of the State, effectively perform its role in the passing of this great statesman, revolutionary, freedom fighter, pathfinder and the first President of a democratic South Africa. We are fully aware that a number of memorial services, tributes and ceremonies, are being held throughout the country. The city has always had a revolutionary and emotional association with the great son of the soil, over and above him being its resident. Iconic city sites linked to Mandela include but not limited to: the Mandela Bridge Nelson Mandela Square, and the Mandela Museum in Vilakazi Street.   In recognition of the desire of all of us to pay tribute, we will be assembling daily at designated sites which will be announced shortly. In the name of Madiba and his life’s work of Service to the People, city employees are urged to ensure that Service Delivery during the mourning period and beyond, is not compromised. Managers throughout the Regions, ME’s and the Metro Centre should ensure continued service within their business units while employees join the mass of the people to various other prayer venues, memorial services, funeral event etc. No business centre should be completely shut down and in extreme cases; a skeleton staff should be keep doors open to business.

17 October 2013	THE WAR ON WASTE CAMPAIGN — OUR JOBURG, OUR HOME, OUR FUTURE
	Pikitup, the City of Joburg’s waste management entity, has thrown its full weight in support of the ‘War On Waste’ in an effort to fight against illegal dumping, littering. The mission: change the mind sets of residents and businesses and get them to start recycling and separating at source. Numerous times the organisation has tried different methods, adopting radical approaches to get the message across. Often these were met with resistance and distaste because the seriousness of what was being communicated was not properly conveyed or there was a total disregard for the law. When all else fails, the only choice left is to up the ante and make every citizen of Joburg get their hands dirty. ... Read More WAR ON WASTE SCHEDULE
