Ina | PARYS | No I am not | Gehalte van dienslewering laat veel te wense oor!! Kwaliteit van water is 'n skande. Gereelde kragonderbrekings a.g.v. hopelose instandhouding. Ongekwalifiseerde vakmanskap. Slaggate oral waar mens ry, eintlik nie gate nie - slote, dongas!! Wat word van ons munisipale belasting? Het dit nie hoog tyd geword dat belastingbetalers standpunt inneem nie. . . | Die gemeenskap van Parys (inwoners) moet betrokke raak, self inspring , saamwerk.. | |
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.” | |
Sharon | Morningside | No I am not | No street lights at night and pot holes in the roads Driving at night is a hit and miss affair You have to drive and pray It’s almost as bad in the day Robots out at intersections There should be pointsmen at tge big ones Homeless people actually help quite a lot Train them up and give them a job The ANC has got to go | Love the weather I live in a retirement complex People help each other My daughter lives in Waverley Great whatsapp groups where people connect with each other and help each other and share their expertise Lots of beautiful trees which I enjoy a lot If the COJ was run by The DA coalition we would be living in a stunning wirld class city The ANC has run it into the ground | Vote for the DA or another party Your life will be better The ANC has done enough damage |
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. |
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. | |
Phoebe | Plumstead | Not fully | Out water pressure is often very low at times or there isn't water at all. | Our scenery and wild life. | |
Tina | Hillary | No I am not | |||
Joe | Durbanville | Yes I am | Good service delivery & friendly | Good service delivery & friendly | Keep left & pass right ! |
Kim | Kenilworth | Not fully | Pot holes aplenty Broken pavements - more affluent areas like NEwlands and Claremont dont have this issue Pavements that have not been tarred over - left open Open manholes - covers not replaced with plastic covers | Regular dirt collection and road clean ups | x |
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. |
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 |
Kevin | CAPE TOWN | Not fully | I do not think that our Councilor is doing what he/she should be doing. I think there is a partisan approach to the way things are done. There is no feedback to the residents. | I enjoy the diversity of our people and beauty of our land. Pity it is being messed up by the powers that be. | Planting of more indigenous trees. Social training / educating people in vegetable and fruit tree gardening. Our people need to be lifted up out of poverty. Why cant there be a training and development programme (sort of a development school) using retired people with skills and business people who are prepared to give of their time for this. |

Michael | Meyerton | Yes I am | |||
Pierre | Pretoria North | No I am not | The amount of water leakages, wasting of water. Works on the side of the road are left open and is a serious safety issue. Potholes are left to the residents to attend to. |
