Duma | Constansia | Not fully | This municipality gives slightly better service delivery. However, the DA ( so called white skinned) that are running the municipality are TOO RACIST and think that white skinned people are superior to other color skins. What steenhuizen and jp smith and their click forget is that the outer skins are just that, skins. They all will die one day as will everyone else and their bodies will stink and rot just like all of the peoples. Only stupid, foolish, idiotic people think nonsense. They hatred of the Palestinians is so blatant that it is sickening. They want people in their party to 'toe the line' of their blind support of the zionists. They are hypocrites. steebnhauzen goes to zelensky in ukraine to suck up to him because he is jew. Yet he does not allow his party memebr to speak what is his right to say. It had nothing to do with politics. It was a humanistic support he expressed. Yet there mad zino supporters of the DA demand that many votes in parliament should be in secret and what their conscious demands. How low can one go to lie, cheat and be hypocritical? | ALL MANKIND ARE SIMILAR Al-Qur’an: chapter 49 Verse 13: “O mankind! We (i.e. Allāh) created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allāh is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allāh has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things.)” Mankind was one nation and over the ages through migration we became different nations. Yet we are the same and we share the same earth, and needs and feelings etc. Al-Qur’an: Chapter 10 Verse 19: “Mankind was but one nation, but differed (later). Had it not been for a word that went forth before from Thy Lord, their differences would have been settled between them.” Al-Qur’an: Chapter 2 Verse 213: “Mankind was one single nation, and Allāh sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He (i.e. Allāh) sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Messages came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allāh by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allāh guided whom He (i.e. Allāh) will to a path that is straight.” (Cf: chapter 2 verse 272; chapter 19 verse 76; chapter 28 verse 56; chapter 58 verse 22; chapter 16 verses 104-105) DO NOT THINK OF BEING BETTER THAN OTHERS: Al-Qur’an: chapter 49 Verse 11: “O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: it may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after one has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.” STAND OUT FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE EVEN IF IT IS AGAINST YOUR OWN SELF: Al-Qur’an: Chapter 4 verse 135: “O ye who believe in Allāh! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allâh, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allāh can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, Verily Allāh is well- acquainted with all that ye do.” | |
Jeannie | Lester Park | 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 incompetence and lack of professionalism is dire. Pietermaritzburg's is filthy! The infrastructure is broken, service provision, pride in work, accountability, is lacking and we are coerced monthly to pay for services which aren't rendered. Why are rate payers not empowered by legislation to hold their municipalities to account. | The 10% exists who don't want to live in filth and abide by the rule of law. If, only they were also in the political class. | |
uybgf | boksburg | No I am not | They don't deliver.In fighting and who is in charge is more importent to them. | ||
Kelvin | Bethlehem | No I am not | What municipality? No roads, no management, no service… | ||
Prathna | Woodview | No I am not | Service delivery is pathetic. | Absolutely nothing. I'm saving up money to immigrate. | n/a |
Katherine | Honeydew | No I am not | Uncleaned verges. Potholes. No road markings. Missing stop signs. Frequent power failures outside of loadshedding. Non working traffic lights and street lights. Lack of any visible policing. Hijacked old farm plots. | Get rid of the ANC and put into power a strong willed ethical leader. | |
JJ | Morningside | No I am not | |||
John | No I am not | There is little to no maintenance being completed across the board. Durban was once a blue flag beach attracting tourism to the province, now there is so much effluent in the water it is no longer safe to bathe in all driven through the lack of maintenance by the municipality. It is amazing that the parties who are paid to enforce environmental compliance are the very same parties that are guilty of non compliance. It is high time that the people in office are brought before the courts to answer for the lack of action on all fronts. Rate payers pay for a service that is not being delivered as such this is a breach of contract. | That there are still people who care. | Communities need to come together and oust the useless individuals whom simply sit on their rear ends and collect a pay cheque for doing little to nothing. Local community management should be performance based as what is found in the commercial market. Non performance should be rewarded with consequences. Positive contribution should equally be rewarded with positive consequences. | |
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. |

Findley | Goodwood | No I am not | Improve service delivery | Not much to enjoy other than its beauty and its people. | |
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 ? | ||
Glyn | Napier | Yes I am | It's well run, problems are sorted pretty quickly. The town is clean. Our police here are very good so far as the law allows them. | ||
Adriaan | Val de grace | No I am not | The roads are falling apart and we have plenty of water supply problems. We pay ever increasing property taxes and get poor or no service. The issues were raise with the municipality, but they never seem to fix anything until it is a crises. |
