Pretoria - The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality will close its offices between Christmas and New Year.
All administrative offices, libraries, selected rates halls and pay points will be closed from 1pm on Friday 23 December and will re-open on Monday 2 January 2017.
The municipality said emergency and essential services such as refuse collection, electricity and water services will not be affected by the recess.
“Time off during the Christmas holidays is the best opportunity to afford our employees to spend with their families especially those who wish to travel to their respective home towns during this season.
“Residents are also reminded to pay their municipal accounts on time and utilise facilities such as the www.e-siyakhokha.co.za online platform,” metro spokesperson Themba Gadebe said.
Residents are advised to utilise the following numbers in cases of emergencies: life threatening emergency line on 011 458 0911 or 10177 112 from mobile phones, and the municipal services call centre on 0860 543 000.
The municipality wishes all its residents a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. –SAnews.gov.za
