Multi-Purpose Community Centre (MPCC)

Updated: 11 November 2009

Alexandra has suffered greatly from a lack of community and social services in the past. The people of Alex were asked to identify the services that they needed, and the one-stop Multi-Purpose Community Centre was born of that consultation.

Alex residents no longer have to travel to different locations spread across Johannesburg to register births, apply for social grants, get help with work-related problems, or pay their municipal bills.

The MPCC is situated on the corner of 8th Avenue and Rooseveld Street in Alexandra. The site was chosen due to its convenient location and ability to serve large numbers of people in the area. A wide range of services are provided by Johannesburg's Region 7, as well as a number of additional provincial and national government services.

Services are also provided at the Alexsan Kopano Centre, at 12th Avenue, Alexandra.
