5 May, 2005 Press Release CLARIFICATION OF REGISTRATION PERIOD FOR MUNICIPAL SERVICES SUBSIDY The Executive Mayor yesterday (4 May 2005) launched the registration drive for the municipal services subsidy. Following the launch, it has become clear that there is uncertainty about the period during which people can register, according to the City's spokesperson for the Department of Revenue Mandy Jean Woods. "What we launched yesterday was the registration drive. This will include special registration days in particular areas around the City, and these have been identified in various parts of the communications plan, including advertising," Woods says. "This simply means that these are the areas we think we will get a significant number of people wanting to register, and in anticipating the demand, we are directing additional resources in terms of registration agents and computers and so on, into those areas on those particular days," she says. "It does not mean that people can't register on other days in other areas. In fact, we want to encourage people from other parts of the city to visit their nearest pay-points and / or People Centres to register on any day that these places are open for business." So far, the following special registration days have been set up for the month of May: DATE REGISTRATION POINT AREAS TARGETED May 9 to 11 Eldorado Park Rates Hall All suburbs of Eldorado Park May 9 to 11 Ennerdale Municipal Pay Point Ennerdale Ext 9 Ennerdale, Lawley, Finetown May 12 - 14 Senoane Municipal Pay Point 448 Mabalane Street Senoane Senoane, Phiri, Mapetla May 16 - 18 Jabulani Municipal Pay Point 1 Koma Road Jabulani Moletsane, Jabulani Flats May 19 - 21 Tladi Municipal Pay Point 2071 Tladi Near Merafi Station Tladi, Naledi, Moletsane 23 - 25 May Zola No. 3700 Masizake Street Zola Zola, Emdeni 26 - 28 May Meadowlands Municipal Point 47 Stand 293/7 Hekpoort Circle Zone 2 Meadowlands Phefeni In June and July this year, special registration days will take place in Roodepoort, Moroka, Dobsonville, Protea North, Orlando West, Orlando East, Diepkloof, Pimville, Lenasia and Orange Farm.
