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. | |||
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.. | |
Debbie | Yes I am | Best run province | The ease of logging a call. Speedy response, CLEAN SUBURB | ||
Nathalie | Stormsriver Village | No I am not | They are unable to perform basic accounting functions, charge the incorrect amount for refuse (charging me for a business), including charging amounts for a previous year, and then when contacted said they will send it to their supervisor. No response. After several emails to follow up they just start ignoring my emails.... this has been going on for more than a year now. I stopped paying. I even tried contacting the EC public protector - no reply. | ||
D | No I am not | Infrastructure collapse and pathetic service, and also pathetic service at the municipal offices. | We need to be able to privatise service delivery, electricity generation and water and sanitation services. | ||
Roy | Doorn | No I am not | for years we've had problems with sewerage, water supply, potholes, refuse removal. Actually all services. You name it, we don't have it. After a ward meeting in December where we heard the usual promises from the Mayor, no improvement. | lately not very much, | Employ qualified, skilled and experienced people. Politics must not interfere with service delivery. |
Miles | Mossel Bay | Yes I am | DA led. Honest and committed. | They work and don't steal in mossel bay. | |
Di | umbilo | No I am not | It is beyond filthy, litter everywhere, sewage running in the streets, potholes and worst of all "repaired potholes" which actually cause more harm. Tenders given to incompetents to repair the potholes means they dig them up, then simply cover with a dump truck of gravel - damaging tyres, windscreens until the rains come and the hole once again opens...Streetlights and cables are stolen in broad daylight - there is zero policing and crime control. One goes to report a robbery and the police look at you as if you are mad - the first question is "do you have insurance?" When you say "No" they then say " but why are you here? We just give ref numbers for insurance purposes" and this they say without even the saving grace of being ashamed at their useless services. | Nothing at the moment - it has been run into the ground. One can't go for walks or runs anymore for the stench of sewage and rubbish. It is also not safe to even think of getting any exercise here. It is where I raised my family and planted trees which are now mature. Do you know what it feels like to realise you have to sell at any cost and just leave? The only hope is to go to the Cape. | Let's start a rates boycott. Get a class action going against the thieves that have destroyed out city. Pay our rates into a trust that can be used to supply the services we are not and have never received. |
Portia | Alberton | No I am not | We go weeks without our bins being collected, while we are charged for services not rendered. | compared to other places, it is still safe | |
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. | |
N ICK | nelspruit | No I am not | poor service delivery | clean enviroment | new management |
Mogamat Jamiel | Kenwyn | No I am not | Our street lights have been on 24/7 for well over a year with numerous calls to the CoCT with no solution in sight. I had a leak at my water meter outside my property just over 18 months ago and instead of repairing the leak which is what I could have done...the outsource plumbing company came in and replaced the entire water meter and I got charged for it. There is no recourse against the CoCT for running, this once flourishing government department, into the ground and the consumer ends up paying for their inability to run this department smoothly... | At this point religious freedom - that's it | Get rid of the ANC, DA and EFF - simple... Enforce accountability, have an outsource company from Norway or Russia audit our finances and departments to ensure that our departments are delivering on their mandate. Immediately cut expenditure of high salaries, executive car allowances, illegal tenders, entertainment allowances |
Petronella | Clarendon, Pietermaritzburg | No I am not | They are useless. We once had a beautiful city and since the ANC came into power there is nothing but decay in our once beautiful city. Pot holes, lights that do not work, filth everywhere, the city hall's roof was stolen, severe corruption, jobs for ANC pals, the mayor has put his photograph up everywhere and we do not want to even see his face as he has been asked to step down and so the list goes on and on ad on!!!!!!!!!!! | Nothing | Farmers should not be paying rates. Stop that immediately. Our municipal expenses must be paid to the Paymaster who will then ensure that the suburbs are looked after as and when work needs to be carried out. DO AWAY WITH COUNCILLORS!!! THEY ARE JUST EARNING OUR TAX MONEY FOR A JOB AND ARE USELESS. I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY ONE OF THEM THAT IS DOING ANYTHING POSITIVE HERE IN PMB!!! |
Jacobus G | Booysens | No I am not | Counselor not doing there Jobs. Services not up to standerd and there billing is in a mess, People that get paid but not doing there Job's. Get people that wanted to work and make a difference. | Nothing, it was the place to stay,not anymore | Yes, start to lock up corrupt officials |
