Councillors’ Corner #11 | Al Jama-ah Cllr briefs on Lenasia Ward 9

Political parties are busy signing the Electoral Commission’s (IEC) Electoral Code of Conduct pledge countrywide ahead of the Local Government Elections in 26 days’ time.

In this week’s edition of Councillors’ Corner, Digital News Producer Lebo Tshangela speaks to Al Jama-ah’s Ward 9 Councillor in Gauteng’s City of Johannesburg, Jakes Karolia.

Karolia says his ward is facing challenges with deteriorating infrastructure and potholes.

He says, “Mostly, it is the infrastructure that we do have a problem with; a lot of informal settlements that come up within the area, which is obviously a hygiene problem for the residents living within the informal settlement; we have road issues, we have major electricity issues.” The conversation with Jakes Karolia below: Related: Councillors’ Corner #1 | DA’s Jonker accounts for Joburg’s Ward 88 Related: Councillors’ Corner #2 | PA’s Daniels accounts for Cape Town’s Ward 56 Related: Councillors’ Corner #3 | ANC’s Nkukane accounts for Sol Plaatje’s Ward 15 Related : Councillors’ Corner #4 | FF+’s Louw accounts for Modimolle’s Ward 5 Related: Councillors’ Corner#5 | EFF’s Ramaphoko accounts for Seshego’s Ward 13 Related: Councillors’ Corner #6 | ANC’s Motha accounts for Mkhondo’s Ward 14 Related: Councillors’ Corner#7 | IFP’s Govender briefs on uMhlathuzi’s Ward 26 Related: Councillors’ Corner#8| ActionSA’s Singh briefs on Newcastle’s Ward 25 Related: Councillors’ Corner #9 | ANC’s Mosala accounts for Mangaung’s Ward 11 Related: Councillors’ Corner #10 | DA’s Zerwick accounts for JB Marks’ Ward 4
