Pieter | PROTEAPARK | No I am not | Financial mismanagement Unfunded budget Inadequate provision for infrastructure maintenance | Lifestyle and space | There is a constant shortage of nurses and teachers to name just two. Allow the private sector to train these people - not just government |
Sue | Not fully | NMBM has been defunct, under the cANCer for years. We had a DA mayor for a short while but disgruntled cANCer "cadres" were losing out on the money pot and tenders so he was booted out. Since then things have gone from worse to simply horrifying and sad. We now have a coalition in power led by DA; which at the moment seems to be strong. Retief Odendall is visual/visible, on the go, being seen, walking and talking to the people of the bay, addressing their concerns. Street lights are being fixed. Potholes are being fixed. The cable theft is being addressed. He is on the forefront of the water crisis that is crippling the bay, Our streets are being cleaned (I cringe at the dirt/rubbish and general squalour that is evident especially when the cruise ships dock or foreigners hurridly drive through PE to Garden Route etc). Street markings being painted. When people scream, shout, protest and burn tyres (destroying more road infrastructure in the process); because they have set up a shack (egged on by ex cANCer cadres as a 'free vote') where there is no infrustructure at all; the Mayor is there, with his coalition leaders; trying to find solutions to the problem. The only time the cANCer cadres were out and being seen and making empty promises, was near local or general elections. I dont care WHO is in power, they could be pink with purple spots, but just DO YOUR JOB. You are voted in by the people, work FOR THE people. | I love SA, I love Africa; there is no where else like it. All of our people are resilient. There can sometimes be an amazing sense of Ubuntu. But, I do worry about my future; especially with the total collapse of the government health system, Eishkom, looting and general disregard for the people in this country who are taxed to death; and now the threat of "legal landgrab" under the proposed "expropriation bill" which is nothing but a thinly disguised land grab aka Zimbabwe 2.0 | WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GREATER GOOD. Stop worrying about the color of the person for the job; if they are 10000% qualified; support them, dont place obstacles in their path (because they are cutting off your income revenue stream by stopping corruption and trying to save a grid from total collapse). We all know why De Ruyter could'nt do it anymore; it was all sabotage, so the powers that be can point fingers. | |
MIVAN | Chase Valley | No I am not | Water and electricity services and infrastructure is not maintained nor assured for tax and rate paying constituents, this is a health and safety risk. Roads and sidewalks are in absolute disrepair with no plan, action or intention to repair. This has deteriorated rapidly and significantly in recent months. Further increased risk and hazard to all road users. | Greenspaces and outdoor entertainemnt areas. | |
Jesica | No I am not | Service in general is very bad. The solution is that they should do their jobs and use the money to fix things and deliver the service they are getting paid for. I also think that community gardens will go a long way in helping the struggling people. | Get rid of all the BEE's. Stamp out crime. Start community gardens. | ||
Joe | Durbanville | Yes I am | Good service delivery & friendly | Good service delivery & friendly | Keep left & pass right ! |
