Joburg mayor praises the work of the ‘bomb squad’ team

# Johannesburg mayor Dada Morero has lauded his bomb squad team, saying it has become the metro’s fastest-acting mechanism, reducing the time between incident reporting and final resolution. The bomb squad was introduced as part of a turnaround strategy, focusing on issues such as land invasion, illegal migrants and potholes. Morero says since June, the team has achieved an 86-percent resolution rate across 42 major escalations and processed 724 service cases. He adds that the team’s results are visible across all regions.
