The onset of Spring and the ensuing public holidays may bring about an altered timetable for city offices in the coming months. This time, marked by sporadic closures, becomes a prime chance for residents to familiarize themselves with the City’s evolving, user-friendly e-Services.
Between March and May 2024, City Revenue Department offices, Traffic Services’ driver’s license testing centers, Human Settlements’ offices, and municipal courts will adhere to public holiday closures. This pertains to offices situated at Liberty Promenade Mall, the intersection of AZ Berman Drive and Morgenster Road in Mitchells Plain, Table Bay Mall at Berkshire Boulevard and R27 intersection, as well as Sunningdale and Lansdowne Corner Mall at the corner of Govan Mbeki Road and Jan Smuts Drive in Ottery. Notwithstanding these closures, these offices will continue normal operations on Saturday, March 30, and Sunday, March 31, 2024.
Despite the physical closures, the digital world stays open and reachable. The City has dedicated substantial efforts into constructing an online environment that is not only simple to navigate, but also promotes a smooth and safe payment process. Residents can utilize e-Services for a variety of tasks, including making payments, account inquiries, and arranging appointments.
At the heart of this digital shift is the integration of QR codes on invoices, an advancement that has transformed the way payments are processed. This QR code, which encapsulates each account holder’s EasyPay number and outstanding balance, acts as a pathway to the payment portal, symbolizing efficiency, security, and simplicity, and allowing residents to pay their municipal account with ease.
In addition to this, the City’s online booking platform at https://bookings.capetown.gov.za offers another level of convenience, enabling residents to schedule appointments without the need to physically visit, thus cutting down wait times and promoting efficiency. Residents can also sign up for eServices at https://eservices.capetown.gov.za/irj/portal, thereby broadening the scope of tasks that can be completed from the comfort of home.
For assistance with motor vehicle registration and licensing, residents can contact Vehicle.Licence@capetown.gov.za. Meanwhile, municipal and City rental payments can be made online at www.Easypay.co.za or www.powertime.co.za. The City has also allowed for Electronic Funds Transfers (EFTs) and payments via retailers such as Shoprite, Checkers, USave, Pick n Pay, PEP, Ackermans, Lewis, Top It Up, Woolworths, and selected Spar shops. Moreover, the City can be added as a beneficiary via ATM after discussing with individual banks.
The periodic closure of city offices in the coming months presents residents with a great opportunity to discover and make use of the City’s comprehensive and advanced online services. Councillor Siseko Mbandezi, the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Finance, expresses his gratitude to all account holders for their sustained support and promotes the utilization of these digital tools.
In a society that is progressively digital and interconnected, the City is wholly dedicated to harnessing technology to augment service offerings for its inhabitants. This commitment mirrors the City’s wider goal to foster a culture of self-service, efficiency, and digital literacy among its residents, while providing the requisite support and resources to facilitate this transition.
