The City Manager of the City of Ekurhuleni, Mr Kagiso Lerutla, will tomorrow, Tuesday, 13 January 2026, visit the Kempton Park Energy Depot as part of the official launch of the City Manager’s flagship service delivery programme, Fixing the Frontline.
Fixing the Frontline is a focused service delivery and organisational renewal intervention aimed at restoring functionality, efficiency and professionalism at municipal depots, which serve as the City’s primary frontline service delivery nodes. A central pillar of the programme is the wellbeing, safety and capacitation of general workers, recognising their critical role in delivering services to communities.
During the visit, the City Manager will engage directly with depot-based employees and general workers to assess working conditions, listen to operational challenges, and reinforce a culture of accountability, support and performance at the frontline.
The City Manager’s visit will focus on:
– Fixing and capacitating municipal depots to function effectively as frontline service delivery hubs
– Assessing operational readiness, infrastructure conditions, tools of trade and equipment availability
– Engaging directly with general workers and depot staff to strengthen morale, skills development, wellbeing and accountability
– Ensuring depots are fit-for-purpose to deliver reliable, responsive and sustainable services to communities
This launch forms part of the City’s broader service delivery restoration and organisational renewal agenda, with a strong emphasis on operational excellence, workforce enablement and the wellbeing of frontline employees.
