Heléne | No I am not | Excessive electricity bills. We need to pay a private contractor to deliver water, remove our rubble, cut grass on the pavements. Volunteers are cleaning the main streets but there is no follow through from the municipality. People dump their trash right under the board that state there will be a fine for illegal dumping. It is now six months since the dumping is there with no follow up. The legal dumping site is a nightmare. Not only for residents to go there, the employees but also for the poor people that goes there to look for some source of income. What happened to all the promises? | This is still platteland and near the bush. And all the new developments that creates more jobs. | Communication from all parties and agreed and followthrough of decisions. | |
Terry | Somerset West | Not fully | Lack of knowledge with Client Services desk's. Suspect language issue. Otherwise, am glad l live in Cape Town! | Pot holes, repaired quickly & rd markings maintained. Regular updates with maintenance i.r.o. water, flooding & sewetage issues. | ALL STAFF/EMPLOYEES, should be FULLY bi-lingual, & knowledgeable in their job i.ro. service to the Public, & follow up on their queries Daily |
Debbie | Yes I am | Best run province | The ease of logging a call. Speedy response, CLEAN SUBURB | ||
Jonathan | Benoni | No I am not | Load shedding leads to no water supply. When supply is sorted then pipes burst due to bad maintenance. | Our community stands together on various whats app groups | |
Melanie | Wilropark | No I am not | Most of the people working there have a bad and very relaxed attitude | ||
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. |
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. | ||
Nadine | Kommetjie | No I am not | Roads are in a terrible state with potholes and uneven areas. Road traffic is a major problem and urgent attention needs to be given to the traffic from Kommetjie, Ocean View and Scarborough towards Noordhoek. Its not acceptable to have to sit bumper-to-bumper every day. Road infrastructure MUST come before City of Cape Town approves developments. | ||
Brendon | Bloemfontein | No I am not | They misuses public funds contributed to fix the whole town and fails to mentain the roads everywhere is potholes tapwater is having too much chemicals it's like they do not know how to measure the chemicals used to clean water and sometimes taps have dirty water so please help us | It's that people are fighting for the services and sometimes are being met but not on time | |
Denise | Edenvale | No I am not | Tons and tons of potholes. Street lights not working, residential dwellings are overcrowded and being used to house 5 or more familes. refuse and litter that is not picked up, water leaks. etc. | The majority of people are caring and helpful. Most of the community look out for each other. | |
Hugh | Sunnyside | No I am not | |||
Shiraz | Central town | No I am not | Municipality run by totally incompetent, corrupt people and is constantly struggling to provide very basic services. The council has been and is predominantly ANC which explains everything, doesn't it ? | ||
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. |
Pamela | Hermanus | Not fully | Our municipality is good - our services work well. Sadly, there is not much regard for public participation despite the mayor's invitations to the public. | Hermanus is relatively clean and relatively crime free - thanks to public subscrip[tion and neighbourthood watch groups. | Get rid of the AND and prosecute them for crimes agains humanity. what they have done to their own people is disgusting. |
Estie | Ferndale | Not fully | Potholes and burst pipes are abundant. They are attended to, but it takes days or weeks (in some cases months) to be resolved, and then not always fully. Lots of rubbish in the streets, on street corners, in Randburg CBD. traffic lights are out for weeks on end. Disregard of the rules of the road, not only by taxis, but now also by general motorists, as there are no legal consequences. | Nature. We have a beautiful country. |
