It has its own independent board, management team and staff. Its plan is to provide the public with services that are pleasantly efficient and commercially viable for the benefit of the Affected Operators.
The running of the company is based on a concession agreement with the City of Tshwane, and it is governed by standard operating procedures designed by the City.
