Charles | Robin Hills | No I am not | 1. Municipal services are non-existent 2. Impossible to contact any municipal department as telephones are NOT answered. 3.

Electrical infrastructure has been abused and is non-compliant with national safety requirements. 6. Traffic law enforcement is non-existent. 7. Pot holes abound. 8. Crime, grime and yet more crime 9. The neighborhood is tatty, parks are not maintained verges are unkempt , pavements littered and impassable. 10.

Many trees and shrubs | Get rid of the corrupt, criminally infiltrated, incompetent and dysfunctional ANC sooner rather than later |
Portia | Alberton | No I am not | We go weeks without our bins being collected, while we are charged for services not rendered. | compared to other places, it is still safe | |
Boikanyo | Motlhabeng/Mase | No I am not | I was born here in this village and I'm telling you, there is no government assistance that we ever received here. The only thing this corrupt government brought is this devastating electricity, but besides, they only come on election days and that's it. We have no roads, schools, clinics, community halls, etc. Nothing at all. We have never seen government services so I will never say we have any government here in the villages. We are lost with nothing in our hands, we are still using the long-drop toilets and the same government is continuing digging them for the community instead of finding better solutions towards waste management and environment services. We are destitute and see corrupt councils moving amongst us. | We are self sustaining and we build our own things to ensure we assist our children. The school in the community is built by the community, we have a mini-library that was initiated by me, we are in a process of fundraising to construct a fully furnished recreation centre that will assist our children to cope with modern life challenges and be equipped for the higher education dimension. Because the government we voted into power has left us stranded with nothing to cherish. We are on our own as far as it looks | I would like to make an appeal to those in power that they give us a chance as the Non Profit Organizations in the communities with certain exemptions to be the pioneers towards development. We have an NPO called Boikanyo-Motlhabeng Foundation which is doing its utmost best to develop its community members and it need be considered for development and ensure our people see change. We are still living in the dark ages here in Mase Village of Taung. We need change now |
Mkuseli | Khayelitsha | Not fully | Ward I current stay in does not receive the same/best services as the other areas. | I live in a relative better part of Khayelitsha, middle class therefore my liking of the community is contributed by my earn of income and what I can access. Otherwise the majority of people are not receiving adequate service delivery. I enjoy the people. | There should be a similar process to consultant communities on their own development besides the IDP process. |
Louisa | Umbilo | No I am not | We are held to ransom by an incompetent ANC council who care nothing for their residents but only about feathering their own nest. | The fact that we have a caring group who look out for each other and share info about possible problems and dangersW | We need to create Urban Improvements Projects, street by street and educate some of the newer residents about the responsibilities that go with owning or renting property. |
