David | Kensington | No I am not | Filthy streets Running grey water Crime Lawlessness on the roads | Very little at the moment. My friends keep me sane. | |
Kelvin | Bethlehem | No I am not | What municipality? No roads, no management, no service… | ||
Wendy | Westville | No I am not | Rates are not used to maintain the infrastructure. Pot holes everywhere, no working street lights, constant burst pipes , failing electricity supplies due to local infrastructure failure. Filthy streets, the M7 has become a death trap. Stapleton road is a hazard not only to your car but your life since the floods. And the list goes on and on! | The only saving grace for our ward is our DA councillor who goes above and beyond to keep the lights and water on! And is our voice at a local level! | |
Raymond | Krugersdorp | No I am not | |||
wayne | bordeaux | No I am not | Service delivery is sub par. Potholes unmanageable. JHB water restituion a year or more behind. Decay increasing. Vagrants sleep wherever they want. Filth and pollution everywhere | The potential for a great country to rise from the grips of the mafia cartels under the leadership of the ANC | |
Theresia | Kraaifontein | No I am not | Stop Squatters along pavements aswell as public toilets. People urinates in public . Loitering of youngsters at houseshops corners . All shebeens must be closed down in our communities and societies .It's a social evil. Stop dumping rubble and dirt on street corners. STOP BUILDING MALLS AND BUILD BIGGER GYMS AND PROVIDE PARKS !!Why did municipality allowed Zone fitness gym to closed down in Brackenfell.? There's enough Malls around Brackenfell . Don't turn humans into zombies!! GYMS | Nothing .... | |
Jacobus | Lyttelton | No I am not | The roads are in an apauling condition and in desperate need of top sealing, I have sent numerous emails over the past years but to no avail. Think about it, we are 1024 houses in my street alone, taxes are R1075pm excluding services, just dirty steal-our-money tax, that is R1 100 800pm from one street and they cannot even reseal the 40+year old road surface. On top of the tax we pay for water, elec, sanitation, city beautification (whatever that is), and garbage removal. Where does the R1.1m go? | We all complain about crime, last year they stole my high performance PC (R80k, and the insurance did not pay), but that is nothing. Politicians and people in government that do nothing and get paid for it, is stealing far more. A senior officer in municipality can get R80k every month for doing absolutely nothing that is a bigger crime than breaking into my home and stealing. Same goes for politicians they get paid for ruining the economy and talking out of their asses - criminals! I would enjoy seeing more politicians and perisites in government pack their things and leave, (or commit suicide). We need a Town plane where we can watch them being hanged, that will be great fun. | Upgrade the sidewalks so that cyclists and pedestrians can use them, it is absolutely appalling how arrogant the municipality is towards pedestrians and cyclists. In Selborne Av (the school street) some businesses (go have a look at no 7) have blatantly converted the sidewalk and bike lanes to parking, forcing the kids into the busy avenue, which Metro does nothing about. This is understandable though, since once you buy a fancy car (using tax money) you apparently do really care about anyone else. Resealing the roads will also stop the rapid degradation during rain, but again...once you have that cosy spot in government or municipality and you have that car... pappa...then you have made it and de hell with the rest. |
Pam | BRENTWOOD PARK, BENONI, 1501 | No I am not | Potholes and rubbish collection, water problems, street lights | Benoni is central | |
Shaun | Fichardtpark | No I am not | General infrastructure is not managed. Service delivery is almost non-existent . | We have a neighbourhood association and the community jumps in to full the gaps where the municipality fail. | |
Madeleine | Middelburg | No I am not | Ongoing strikes and no service delivery. Residents are still paying for services every month . No waste removal for weeks and water readings have been estimated resulting in a high levies end of month. Pipe bursts are not attended to , leaving residents without water for days while fire hydrants are open and water get wasted. | ||
Zasquea | Vereeniging | No I am not | We have been without electricity since the 28th of July, till now (10 Aug) and if you contact the control room they advertise everywhere, you don't get answers. They only say,"no ETA yet", "They are working on it", No update" I have spent 60% of my salary on the generator to keep the house up and running and to keep me working as i work from home. The other people in my area have burned down 1 of the streets but Emfuleni didn't care, yesterday the police was standing at that same area guarding it....they know the people are desperate and angry but they don't communicate anything. | The fact that neighbors stand together in a crisis, and help each other where they can. The citizens of this country has amazing and talented people, but with the unreliable leadership, those talents are lost. We have to potential to outshine the rest of the world. | Appoint people in leadership positions that actually have the right experience and knows what they are suppose to do, as soon as they commit something "wrong" get rid of them...forgive and ignore is ruining the lives of us who have to struggle to survive under them. |
Patrick | Uvongo | No I am not | Maladministration and Corruption are rife in our Reynkonyeni and UGU District Municipalities. There is never funds budgeted for regular maintenance and thus also physical improvements, but the vultures regularly get above inflation rate salary increases. The recent initiation of the TIDY TOWNS initiative is providing much of the Uvongo areas service deliveries via private sector businesses and individual ratepayer funding. Even government has the cheek to say that they agree and support Private Participation, meantime they just smugly applaud the Tidy Town efforts and continue unashamedly with Annual Budgets that are designed to fill their pockets. | Our country overall requires major attention to repairing and rebuilding our mismanaged forgotten about road works, and not just in areas where current ANC councillors live! Our road transport of goods is crucial to our economy and then we must also look at upgrading ournationwide train and bus sytems. | |
Martin | Durbanville | Not fully | Homeless people staying in the town centre. The council should put more effort to move all the homeless people to a place where they must do some basic work. Like a community farm. That will keep them busy and earn some money and keep them away from drugs and booze. | Nature | |
Irene | Houghton Estate | No I am not | Though I live in an upmarket suburb, there are no municipal services like maintaining roads, keeping them clean, cleaning of storm water drains - full of leaves, dirt and rubbish, sweeping of roads, etc. There is much work to be done in our suburb. | It is a beautiful country - no doubt. I wish it would be kept beautiful. Enjoy the weather. We have beautiful homes. The fresh produce is very good - especially the fruits | |
Jon | George | Yes I am | George Municipality is keeping our town running smoothly. Providing basic services & providing opportunities for job creation. It is planning towards future growth & providing for increased services | George is a friendly town where people live in harmony and can enjoy freedom to walk the streets & in the mountain without fear of attack ( although it does occasionally happen) SA is a wonderful country to live in & is able to support all its citizens if the BEE & labour laws were done away with thereby creating a place for new work opportunities & for foreign investment |
