A number of businesses were closed and notices of compliance issued against owners of properties that contravened municipal by-laws after City of Johannesburg urban inspectors conducted a blitz in Bosmont and Industria, west of Johannesburg, on Monday.
The inspectors found offences that ranged from illegal accommodation to health hazards, illegal electricity connections, building control violations, lack of occupational health permits and the employment of undocumented immigrants. Khumalo said two other businesses and a residential area had suspiciously closed before they arrived.
“The City is seriously concerned about the complete disregard of by-laws and the country’s laws in general. By conducting the weekly Visible Service Delivery Blitz and closing down businesses that fail to comply, we are making sure that the rule of law is returned to the city. We will not tolerate any form of lawlessness in the City of Joburg,” she added.
