Athol | Knysna | No I am not | Nothing gets fixed. Citizens, Knysna Infrastructure Group, Afriforum and other businesses are fixing potholes, Water pumps , sewerage leaks while council sits in meetings and issues updates . No action. We have cattle roaming the streets that belong to persons connected to councillors in a time where Foot and Mouth disease is rife. | We have a beautiful country and there is a great deal of goodwill between the various groups of people. | Yes. We need a strong community leader to rally together voters to vote in people that want to and will reverse the decay that is all oround us. |
Caroli | No I am not | Completely failed municipality. Rotational load reduction due to Eskom debt not serviced. Illegal power connections. Not licensed to operate water purification plant. Roads impassable. Water and land pollution. Interrupted water supply. Incorrect billing. No interest in working together with business and community forums. No resolution to disputes. The list goes on. Msukaligwa/Ermelo has become yet another filthy little run down town. | |||
Werner | Eduan Park | Not fully | Go to diemeer street and these thugs claiming to be from the neighborhood watch connect electricity during the night. There is a lot of these CPF members that drive around with firearms. Claiming to have the power to arrest. The CPF structures are completely dysfunctional in Polokwane and not representative of the communities. It's just a bunch of AWB thugs. | ||

Ursula | Buffalo Flats | No I am not | Gosh - potholes - state of roads, Municipal grounds are not kept. Grass not cut in different areas e.g. pavements, cemeteries, schools. Illegal dumping is just ignored. People in Buffalo Flats claiming grounds to make their backyards bigger and park their trucks, after complaining to the DA and municipality, nothing is being done about it. The man even put a fence around "HIS" new backyard having braais there, kids cant play soccer there anymore. All because Quinton Kenny has connections in "HIGH" places. nevermind that he dumps his rubble on that ground too. Absolute failure of BCM and the political parties, shame they must be scared. | At the moment nothing. Electricity costs a fortune, everything is expensive, politicians and business people are just seeing to themselves and most are corrupt. the rich are getting richer and the poor becoming poorer. | just give another political party a chance to take over...don't wait till everything collapses. |
Liza | Centurion | No I am not | Even though we keep paying our Metro bill, I feel penalized. This new stages for water is not exeptable. It is not the consumers fault, that eskom did not prioritize pump stations. The water are there but now we are held randsom to get it. My Metro bill is catching up with my house payment and will soon overtake it. This is unreasonable. AND UNEXCEPTABLE! We are made to pay for money that was stolen. | We have a beautiful contry and montley good people. | |
Nokubonga | Ncandu Park | Yes I am | The municipality of Newcastle is generally well run. | ||
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 |
TOM | HOWICK | Yes I am | OUR MAYOR IS PROACTIVE AND WE GET REGULAR FEEDBACK ON WHAT THE MUNICIPALITY IS DOING | WE HAVE FREEDOM OF CHOICE | |
Trevor | Klerksdorp | No I am not | Our municipality has been put under management on numerous occasions but has not improved ay all. Our Ratepayer's Association has offered many times to assist and infact take over certain functions of the municipality. The offer has been ignored, not accepted and tries to fool us from the fraud, corruption and unacceptable state of affairs. We need a law that allows the ratepayer's association of any municipality in the country to be able to suspension with half-pay legaly and through a court order, with ratepayers who are prepared to show the municipalty how a municipality should be run. | Apart from the readiness of the ratepayers to assist there is nothing I like about our municipality. The country is a beautiful country, but is following all other African countries into non-producing, poor, drug - infested, dangerous and corrupt countries. | Open the doors to allow rate payers and citizens of each town to become involved and do not tie them up in red tap. |
Nicholas | Verlorenvlei | No I am not | Despite change of political ascendency the ANC appointed office holders prevent any positive actions. Municipality elections should be non party. The issues are too varied to allow for Party imperatives. | The fact that despite the collapse of state and local infrastructure, we are able through civic action and teamwork to influence the direction of positive changes in regard to agricultural and resource abuses locally. | I recently resolved to devote 50% of my energy and work time to myself, and 50% to civic and local activities. As a retired person this is possible. But even for many many working people it is also possible. Just think of the possibilities if every citizen resolved to devote even 10% or whatever skills he or she could contribute .. for the good of the community or the area. The extra attention alone would provide a massive energy boost. And it’s wholly possible.? |
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. |
Brian | Kew | Not fully | |||
JC | Vrede | No I am not | All services, roads are pothole invested, sewerage problems and many more. | Not much except for the beautiful landscape GOD created. | STOP BBEEE...its not working and obvious. Ban socialist communism in South Africa. End the 'race card' |
Thomas | No I am not | Yes, vote for the DA, Action SA or FF+ |
