City spokesperson Kylie Hatton says the city is extremely pleased about the award and takes it as a boost to enhance service delivery.

“We take this is a boost of confidence for the city in preparation for the final draw of the Fifa World Cup on December the fourth and the tournament next year,” Hatton said.

Hatton says they also see it as a boost to the hard work that the city is doing.

“Although we’ve been acknowledged for excellent service delivery to our residents, we also know there is a lot of work that remains ahead for the city,” Hatton concluded.
