George Municipality

The George Municipality Citizen Engagement Application allows the Municipality to effectively connect, communicate with, and service citizens across all socio-economic strata by delivering mobile application services to every type of mobile phone (smart and non-smart) and all digital devices.

The benefits of using direct channels of communication, particularly via mobile devices, for the Municipality is fourfold: 1. Optimised Communication and Active Citizenry; 2. Enhanced Service Deliver; 3. Operational Efficiencies and 4. Socio-Economic Development
