Executive mayor Clr Mzwandile Masina has welcomed the Gauteng Region Observatory (GCRO) Quality of Life Survey (QoL) 2017\/2018 which places the metro as the Best Performing Metro in the Gauteng Province.<\/p>\n
The GCRO conducts a QoL survey every two years in order to track perceptions and megatrends on social, economic and governance issues across the Gauteng City Region.<\/p>
Masina said: \u201cWe are encouraged by the findings of the GCRO QoL 2017\/2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince assuming office in 2016, we have set out to build a stable ANC-led coalition government, which is pro-poor and obsessed with quality service delivery.<\/p>
\u201cThe results of the survey are a testament to the fact that government in Ekurhuleni delivers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The QoL 2017\/2018 revealed that in terms of satisfaction with services, the metro was ranked number one, ahead of both the City of Johannesburg and the City of Tshwane.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur Siyaqhuba Accelerated Service Delivery programme is increasing our efficiency in dealing with service delivery challenges timeously.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe launch of the My Ekurhuleni Mobile App has also empowered the citizens of Ekurhuleni with the ability to act as the eyes and ears of the metro in reporting service delivery issues,\u201d said Masina.<\/p>\n
