Consumers in Tshwane can link to or communicate with the City through its Customer Relations Management Department. This department was established with the sole purpose of handling all customer interaction. The main responsibility of the department is to receive requests from customers and residents, to log the requests in the relevant system, to provide customers and residents with reference numbers for tracking purposes and to notify service delivery departments.
This high-level value chain is intended to relieve pressure on service delivery departments, such as the Regional Operations and Coordination Department, the Environment and Agriculture Management Department (Waste Management Services
Division), the Energy and Electricity Department and the Water and Sanitation Department by handling fault reporting and allowing them to focus on the actual resolution of faults and service requests.
Following the recent strike by City employees from 26 July 2023, this value chain was seriously altered, as many employees who would have dealt with and addressed these complaints were largely unavailable. However, residents should note that the strike is now over, and all fault-reporting channels have returned to normal. In the interest of fairness and transparency, the normal fault-reporting channels described below can be used.
Faults and service requests can be logged with the City via the following mechanisms:
