Paul Swart is Executive Mayor of Cape Agulhas Municipality
Cape Agulhas Municipality showcases the implementation of an integrated digital system called Collaborator by the municipality, which includes features for document management, complaints, supply chain management, contract management, ward committee minutes, and council and committee management.
The latest addition to this system is the Collab Citizen app, which serves as a platform for notices about Municipal Services delivery, including water and electricity outages, news, and contact details for key staff.
The app also includes a service request functionality that connects to the main Collaborator system for tracking and addressing of issues. Executive Mayor Paul Swart expresses the success of the app, with multiple users reporting effective community complaint management and interaction.
Digital communication channels prove invaluable for disseminating critical information.
