SELEBI-PHIKWE: Selebi-Phikwe Town Council (SPTC) has launched Call-A-Cab strategy to effectively monitor and manage its fleet. Unlike in the past where council vehicles were seen around town and sometimes in unauthorised errands, the fleet now parks at a central area and dispatch upon request to a particular department.

The strategy also addresses the issue where some vehicles were associated with certain departments while others were suffering. town clerk, Godimo Garegope said his experience of having had to work under conditions where a council had to run and deliver with very few vehicles made him appreciate that resources are never enough but it is how they are used that matters.

He said a lot can be achieved in terms of effective service delivery with the fleet that SPTC has. Garegope said the strategy is meant to address transport issues within the council and has resulted in close monitoring of council fleet hence curbing misuse.
