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.”

Roads get fixed, trees are pruned, parks and beaches are well kept and cleaned.
We have a beautiful country - lovely nature and friendly people.

They do not maintain the water pipelines in our town and we are constantly without water.
We reported a water leak in the road in front of our house several times. The leak damaged our property, severely damaged the road and sent already precious water down the drain.
They keep sending us someone else's water bill that we then have to contact them to sort out.
The roads are in a deplorable state, especially in town.
The sewage farm has been broken for more than 30 years already, dumping sewage into the river that goes into the water of a large informal settlement. They can't drink the water. They have to live in stink. Now they have no water and the municipality send water trucks in and charge ridiculous amount of rands for water to an already poveraged community.
The diversity of people
Friendly and warm people

Refuse removal is not happening the way it should, we are paying for services on our municipal billing but they dont deliver the service and also the potholes is way too much, fields need to be cleaned and grass cut.

I was born here in this village and I'm telling you, there is no government assistance that we ever received here. The only thing this corrupt government brought is this devastating electricity, but besides, they only come on election days and that's it. We have no roads, schools, clinics, community halls, etc. Nothing at all. We have never seen government services so I will never say we have any government here in the villages. We are lost with nothing in our hands, we are still using the long-drop toilets and the same government is continuing digging them for the community instead of finding better solutions towards waste management and environment services. We are destitute and see corrupt councils moving amongst us.
We are self sustaining and we build our own things to ensure we assist our children. The school in the community is built by the community, we have a mini-library that was initiated by me, we are in a process of fundraising to construct a fully furnished recreation centre that will assist our children to cope with modern life challenges and be equipped for the higher education dimension. Because the government we voted into power has left us stranded with nothing to cherish. We are on our own as far as it looks
I would like to make an appeal to those in power that they give us a chance as the Non Profit Organizations in the communities with certain exemptions to be the pioneers towards development. We have an NPO called Boikanyo-Motlhabeng Foundation which is doing its utmost best to develop its community members and it need be considered for development and ensure our people see change. We are still living in the dark ages here in Mase Village of Taung. We need change now

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.

They have been visible fixing potholes,broken street lights and water/electricity issues but the task is huge.
My particular community is very aware/alert and we have a whatsapp group who report suspiscous activities to our local armed response companies.

Poor maintenance to roads which are literally washing away. No street lights, local dump sabotaged by unlawful gangsters.
Allow communities to take care of themselves free of the current corruption.

They got local load shedding because they allow people to steal the electricity. the person who fix the electricity by pass fusses that cause cables to blast and blame it on "old" cables. Funds get lost and business's who legal operate get targeted because off load shedding. The streets are full op pot holes and where the trucks travel, the road is disintegrated. Locals had to fix what they could with their money. Water pipes that bust regularly. they are completely in competent.
same minded peolle
get people who is righteous to control money and decision making
