Chris | No I am not | The past and current Municipality and it's leaders cannot and do not run an effective Municipality. Sewrage system collapsing, regular spills over several days into tributaries feeding the Palmiet River. Storm water drainage not maintained leading to breakdown of road surfaces and sub bases . Water supply intermittent with regular bursts , the repairs of which leave broken sidewalks and roads. Law enforcement lack of funds meaning cannot travel between towns. Refuse dumps not run properly and recent fire smoldered for 15 days . Arrear rates not collected , there is not an effective debt collections dept. Refuse removal intermittent. No litter cleaning or policing of litteres. In short they collect rates, pay thier own salaries and do absolutely nothing ....managment is not a word that can be used when referring to the TWK Municipality | |||
Gerrit | Three Rivers | No I am not | The place is falling apart. Private companies and individuals are trying to maintain the infrastructure at own cost. No need to remind anyone that Escom, has now written off millions of rands of debt against this municipality. Will that be needed again in a year or two when the money paid in by residents are squandered (Stolen) and Escom not paid for their services? | Nothing | |
Juanita | Kaapstad | Yes I am | Roads get fixed, trees are pruned, parks and beaches are well kept and cleaned. | We have a beautiful country - lovely nature and friendly people. | Choose the correct , knowledgeable people to serve in the government. |
Neville | Somerset West | Not fully | Too numerous to mention. Street lights out, traffic lights not working after load shedding, potholes in many places | ||
H | No I am not | I am paying taxes, but there is no road or parks maintenance to speak of. The community is cutting grass at the side of the road out of own pocket, meaning the municipal workers are getting a salary for doing nothing. This does not seem fair if read in conjunction with the consumer protection act where one is supposed to get some value for fees paid (taxes). | I like the location with a rural feel but close enough to big city and facilities. | ||
Pam | BRENTWOOD PARK, BENONI, 1501 | No I am not | Potholes and rubbish collection, water problems, street lights | Benoni is central | |
Dr Linda | Erasmuskloof Pretoria | No I am not | Die vuilgoed word alweer nie opgetel nie want die werkers staak dan dank hulle af daar is baie ander wat sal werkdaar | Daar is net ellende geen genietinge nie die krag is af die misdaad is erger en wreder my seun van 28 met grade is te wit om te werk nie My dogter van 30 kry ook nie werk nie daar word teen almal wat wit is intens gediskrimineer ons is besig met immigrasie | In n neute dop hierdie fosiele moet omver gewerp word mef geen voordele nie en vervang word die kommunistiese regering moet uit |
Findley | Goodwood | No I am not | Improve service delivery | Not much to enjoy other than its beauty and its people. | |
Tania | linmeyer | No I am not | |||
Cathy | No I am not | I am not happy with the way the City of Cape Town is driving densification in our area which has a dire lack of resources able to support this. They are only concerned about supporting developers and not about the residents and do not put any of the money they get from these additional rates back into the community. Table View is beginning to look like a slum with frequent water outages and sewage spills in the streets. The roads are also full of potholes and if they get repaired it is such a rubbish job. They are also not interested in engaging or listening to the residents, their support is 100% skewed towards developers who put up horrible tenement-type buildings. | I enjoy the people in the community who support one another but this has nothing to do with the City of Cape Town. | There should be a moratorium on ANY building until the sewage works in the area is upgraded and ANY future plans for development should have services in place BEFORE development commences. I also want them to put more effort into decent buildings and green areas in our suburbs and not letting developers put up any old shit! | |
Leandra | GROENVLEI | No I am not | There are potholes that rarely gets fixed, and if they are fixed, its poorly done, causing the holes to open up again in several days. roads are not painted. gravel roads are not scraped. waste is not removed. | ||
mike | HEIDELBERG CAPE | No I am not | Service is spotty and bad at best, the most worrisome is that we have to pay full rates for Electricity and water while some pay 30 rand a month. Discrimination at its best. | Small and intimate | |
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. | |
Theresa | Gen. de Wet | No I am not | Garbage collected every third week, mostly on a Sunday and then not all is taken either. And then the rates went up at the end of June 2022, go figure. No services, but the inhabitants of Mangaung must pay more for no service !!! Roads in Bloemfontein are full of potholes. Sewerage running in the street without any work being done on the problem. Lack of water for days on end for supposed maintenance, which then breaks down immediately afterwards again. Streets in Bloemfontein strewn with litter, pavements full of weed, grass on main road middlemen not cut. Bloemfontein, the once City of Roses, can now be called the City of Garbage, thanks to the mismanagement of the Municipality under ANC rule. | Our people, well most of them, who are not in political positions, have a spirit of ubuntu. We have a beautiful country, beautiful nature reserves and wonderful people. | Working together with honest NPO's who are focused on service delivery and helping the poor. There are enough ideas already, if we all stand together and work together, change will come. |
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 |
