The City of Tshwane has commenced with its new alternative service delivery model and several new heads of departments and special units have taken up their new positions.

In welcoming the new heads of department, municipal manager, Kiba Kekana, emphasised the importance of hard work.

"It is not our own interests that we must serve. It is the interests of the City and its people that we must serve," he said. Kekana added that the new appointments signal both continuity and change.

"We are all new. This is a new structure that will require that we continue with our efforts to improve the quality of life of our people. At the same time, we must implement changes to ensure that we achieve what we have set ourselves to achieve," he said.

Kekana said that the City's alternative service delivery model that will fully support the City Development Strategy, the Tshwane Integrated Development Plan and the Five-year Strategic Programme for the City was progressing well.

This service delivery model favours a regional approach that makes municipal services more accessible to all residents and is also more responsive to the developmental needs of the City's different regions.

Amongst those appointed are heads of regions, whose duty it will be to ensure that the City's service delivery imperatives are met. The new positions for heads of departments and special units form part of the Macro organisational structure.

The municipality is currently busy with the roll out of the organisational structures below that of departmental head. The new structure comprises a combination of new employees and those who have held different positions within the City administration.
