This week, Mari Rheeder from Roodepoort asks:
What is the best way for the community to get hold of their ward councillor? Is there a certain time?
Mike Wood, Ward 104 councillor, answered:
Councillors, by the nature of their work, don’t keep office hours, so there is no good time. I am normally available on my cellphone or via email and I am willing to meet people as well.
I get an average of 150 emails a day, I am on about 20 WhatsApp groups. I get about 10 phone calls and SMSes a day. Residents can call me, and if I am not available, I will get back to them.

Do you have a question for a ward councillor?
As a local newspaper, the Randburg Sun provides a platform for residents to learn about, understand and follow local government. As an extension of that, a weekly column called, Councillor’s Corner will begin to appear in your newspaper. Councillor’s Corner is a platform for you, our readers, to voice your concerns or questions and for ward councillors to respond to.
Different, willing, ward councillors will respond to a question every week.
