Senior citizens from Kruinhof Retirement Village in Elandsfontein enjoyed a wonderful morning last Thursday when they were treated to breakfast.<\/p>\n

The breakfast, held at the village, was hosted by the deputy chief whip of the ANC Ekurhuleni caucus Clr Ebrahim Motara, together with Ward 92 councillor candidate Harold Thomas.<\/p>

The pensioners were spoilt with a well-cooked breakfast and some were visited in their homes at the village.<\/p>\n

During the breakfast, the senior citizens were given the opportunity to raise some service-delivery issues as tenants.<\/p>

An 80-year-old pensioner Martha Scheepers expressed her excitement and thanked the ANC Ekurhuleni caucus for visiting them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is for the first time that we have received a visit from any political party.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy that the ANC government has visited us and we can now confidently say our issues will be heard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for the delicious breakfast too,\u201d said Scheepers, who has been staying at the village for 12 years.<\/p>\n

Motara used the opportunity to introduce the Ward 92 councillor candidate to the pensioners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe councillor we bring in is from this ward and lives among you.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ward 92 councillor candidate, if given the opportunity, will be expected to call monthly meetings and assist and address all service-delivery issues in the ward by filing a service to the office of the chief whip about all the issues that are raised in the community,\u201d Motara said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA report is then given to the metro\u2019s executive to address the issues, but most importantly, a ward councillor must always be available to his\/her constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n

The residents of Ward 92 will be casting their votes in the by-elections on the October 23.<\/p>\n
