.The Executive Mayor Cllr Mpho Nawa took a time out of his schedule to visit all Directorates within the municipality to engage and listen to employees on various issues that affect them. The main purpose of the mayoral’s visit was to inspire everybody to work as a unit and do things differently in 2013. All of us have to pull our socks and go an extra mile in executing our responsibility. The Executive mayor emphasized that the time of the municipality should be used for servicing our communities and not for personal errands. All the workers were reminded that they need to report at 07:30 and knock off at 16:00. Departments were advised to meet on a monthly basis to discuss pertinent issues relevant to the department. Equally the Executive Mayor appreciated the positive contribution made by various departments. The employees were also given an opportunity to raise issues that makes them not to perform optimally. In almost all departments the issue of effective communication was raised as a gap between management and their subordinates. In conclusion the visits were fruitful and they opened a channel of free flow communication between employees and the Executive, again it eased some tensions that existed in some departments . The session further allowed all to ventilate and exhale. All in all, 2013 promised to be the year of delivery if conversation that took place during these visits are anything to go by.
