The City of Johannesburg has intensified its service delivery efforts in the Greater Ivory Park area, with multiple municipal departments joining forces to tackle pressing infrastructure and maintenance challenges.

The operation, which took place on Tuesday, 14 October 2025, forms part of the City’s High-Impact Service Delivery Programme, aimed at restoring dignity and improving living conditions for residents across Johannesburg.

Led by the City of Johannesburg’s Executive Mayor, Cllr Dada Morero, teams from the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA), Joburg Water, City Power, JMPD, and other entities were deployed across Ivory Park, Ebony Park, and Kaalfontein to deliver essential services where they are needed most.

JRA teams repainted faded road markings, closed potholes, and improved traffic flow at major intersections, including Busy Corner, Main Road, and 29 September Road. These visible improvements are already making a difference, enhancing both pedestrian and motorist safety.

Johannesburg Water stabilised supply challenges linked to the President Park Reservoir, which has been under pressure due to high demand. To manage the system, the reservoir outlet is being closed daily from 2pm to 3am until further notice. Water tankers are being deployed to assist affected communities, while residents are urged to use water sparingly.

During the operation, Mayor Morero underscored his administration’s commitment to delivering tangible results: “Service delivery must be felt and seen. Our residents deserve clean streets, reliable water, safe roads, and functioning infrastructure, not promises. We are here to bring visible service delivery to every corner of Johannesburg.”

The day’s activities also included monitoring at the Kaalfontein Multi-Purpose Centre, ensuring that City services remain responsive to community needs.
