However, emergency and essential services such as refuse collection, electricity and water services will not be affected by the recess.
“Time off during the Christmas holidays is the best opportunity to afford employees to spend time with their families, especially those who wish to travel to their respective home towns during this season,” said Ekurhuleni spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
Residents are also reminded to pay their municipal accounts on time and to make use of facilities such as the www.e-siyakhokha.co.za online platform.
