They include Malunga, Phaliso, Dumisani and Yotho streets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project started on Wednesday 29 January and continued until Tuesday 11 February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diniso said the upgrading was long overdue.

No investors can come here if our infrastructure is not up to standard. As councillors we mustn\u2019t think about providing service delivery only. We need to think beyond that by making our communities look good and creating a conducive environment for investors. By doing that we will be able to create jobs for our people and boost our economy. And one of the things that the investors are looking for is good road access,\u201d said Diniso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the roads were fixed with the ward allocation budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diniso urged the community to protect their streets and stop discarding dirty water into the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe noticed that many people and salons were discarding the dirty water on the road. Some of their washing machines and sinks are discarding the water directly on the street instead of dumping into drain,\u201d said Diniso, adding that soon they will launch a campaign to disconnect all the washing machines or salon sinks that discharge water into the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diniso said most of the roads were damaged to the extent that even ambulances and police vans struggled to come into the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motorist Sakhe Mbindela praised Diniso for doing an excellent job. He said that it has been a while since the roads were damaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the first time to have such kind of a councillor. He cares about his community. Our roads are clean and well maintained. There is no sewage or potholes on the streets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ward 86 councillor Xolani Diniso has completed the street resurfacing campaign in his
