Addressing a clean-up operation on Tuesday, Morero claimed the revitalisation of the CBD remains his top priority.

“Cleaning of the city continues to be a priority. We call on people of this community to participate in cleaning the city,” said Morero.

“There would have been challenges during the festive season. We had a lot of people who put in leave, especially at Pikitup. We are back full force and we are not”
