These individuals see to it that the City facilities are inspected regularly and fix what needs fixing to ensure that the municipal buildings are a pleasure to visit. <br></p><p><img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/wfm3.jpg" alt="" style="margin:5px;width:700px;" /><br></p><div>‘Facilities Management staff are the behind-the-scenes lifesavers who ensure that our City facilities are well maintained and upgraded and that they are clean and safe spaces for both staff and residents.’ <br></div><div><br></div><div>The City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Corporate Services, Alderman Theresa Uys congratulated the departments in Facilities Management for their commitment to creating Visible Improvements in the City’s facilities.

We can all do our bit to ensure that we can be truly proud of the services we offer, and the manner in which we treat our customers.</div><div><br></div><div>‘It was refreshing to see the new amenities the City Facilities Management department has created for staff cyclists at the Cape Town Civic centre. To me, this demonstrates how the municipality is seeking ways to improve the office facilities for staff in ways that encourages them to incorporate exercise into their work day without being concerned about the safety of their bike for example or about whether there are safe and clean facilities they can use to freshen up. We will continue in this trend by making helpful adjustments to our facilities that will improve the experience for staff and customers at City facilities,’ said Alderman Uys. <br></div><div><img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/wfm1.jpg" alt="" style="margin:5px;width:700px;height:439px;" /><br></div><div>The City’s Facilities Management department manages and services all of the Municipality’s corporate buildings and has service-level agreements with various departments to manage public facilities such as municipal courts; libraries; clinics; childcare facilities; shelters; housing offices; law enforcement and metro police facilities as well as fire stations. </div><div><br></div><div>Caption: (L-R) Pictured here is Regan Melody, Facilities Management Director; Alderman Theresa Uys; Johan Gerber, Head of Facilities Management and Maintenance and Santesh Maharaj, Priority Facilities Portfolio Manager</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>End<br></div> | 2024-05-07T22:00:00Z | GP0|#1d539e44-7c8c-4646-887d-386dc1d95d70;L0|#01d539e44-7c8c-4646-887d-386dc1d95d70|City news;GTSet|#62efe227-07aa-45e7-944c-ceebacca891d | | | | | GP0|#ca9ce429-5e55-408b-9cca-895ecb832f8b;L0|#0ca9ce429-5e55-408b-9cca-895ecb832f8b|facilities;GTSet|#2e3de6c1-9951-4747-8f53-470629a399bb;GP0|#883631db-cb07-4884-88af-fbfd72be60bc;L0|#0883631db-cb07-4884-88af-fbfd72be60bc|civic buildings and maintenance services;GTSet|#2e3de6c1-9951-4747-8f53-470629a399bb | 1 | | | | | | | | | | | 0 |
