Municipal services affected by strike action

By

The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality wishes to inform residents that due to the strike action currently taking place, some of the municipal services have been negatively affected.

Refuse collection trucks have started with their rounds today and residents can take out their refuse bags.

However those who can utilise the City’s drop-off sites to dispose of their waste are encouraged to do so as the City is dealing with a backlog in this area.

The drop-off sites are situated at:

  • Port Elizabeth- Strandfontein Road in Summerstrand
  • 5th Avenue in Walmer
  • Arlington Landfill site, Victoria Drive in Walmer
  • Kragga Kamma closer to Circular Drive
  • Hunters Retreat, Cape Road
  • Blue Horizon Bay
  • Sea View Road
  • Ralo Road, KwaMagxaki
  • Stanford Road, Helenvale
  • Umnulu Street, next to Spar in NU9 Motherwell
  • Colchester Drop-off site
  • Koedoeskloof Disposal site- Despatch: M20, Old Grahamstown Road
  • Uitenhage- Gillespie drop off site, Riebeeckhoogte,Verwoerd drop off site
  • KwaNobuhle: Jolobe
  • Sarili
  • Ngeyakhe
  • Zolile Nogcazi and
  • Ntambanane Streets
  • KwaLanga- Laksman Drop offsite
  • Tambo Drop offsite, Cnr Lambata Street and 21st Avenue

Some of the affected Directorates include Electricity and Energy and Infrastructure and Engineering. This has caused delays in responding to reported electrical faults and water leaks.

The City humbly requests residents and businesses to bear with us during this time as all possible efforts are underway to restore normality. Some of the areas affected by power outages include the Uitenhage Industrial area, Wells Estate and Straundale.

Traffic Services offices in Uitenhage and Korsten and the Sidwell Roadworthy Centre toohave also been temporarily closed due to the strike action.

The City would like to plead for patience and cooperation during this time as engagements are taking place to resolve the matter.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
