” Ward Committees are a group of 10 people elected from each Ward and chaired by the Ward Cllr that are meant to be a kind of super residents group who can take on projects in the ward and raise serious issues that need addressing.
In the past, they have really only been a talk shop and were pretty much ceremonial as the City structures never took them seriously. However, under the new dispensation in Johannesburg, it is hoped that they will now have some teeth and be able to make their mark.
If you are interested in sitting on a ward committee (you can only be on the committee in the ward where you live), then go along to the meeting below to find out more info.
You need to be a doer and not a once a month talker/fall asleeper if you want to really make a difference.” – Cllr Tim Truluck, Ward 117
