Where do I begin..Potholes every where...last week our water went off five times...other times..at least once weekly...apparent pipe bursts...street ligths not working ...power failures ...pavements not maintained and obvious main roads pavements. ...grass long in the few green open parks.. even when being cut once a year it is done awful . ..We are bullied into accepting 3rd world standards.....That is so sickening..I will never accept the low standards that the ANC brought into my country South Africa .. Government buildings are unkempt ...government institutions never ever answer a phone...there is no customer service ...incompetence and arrogance also are norm behaviours....corrupt officials...the list goes on and on..

Stop having seminars on crime and stop having all these inquests where the officials are obviously guilty ..stop wasting the peoples money....charge them..and jail them....Fire all the corrupt officials...with no extra pay as what is the norm in this corrupt government ...employ new with skills based not on color and start from top going down to the lowest and fire all corrupt lazy workers...let the heads roll and stop crime from the top...

Takes too long to repair water leaks and assist with issues. Potholes don't get fixed in local area.
Price increases are high on water and electricity and readings are not always correct, but we have to pay

We look after each other with the security and help the local police fix their vehicles and try to prevent crime in our area

Reduce councilors and ministers, why do we need all these deputy ministers.
Action against corruption and support the people your supposed to serve and not your political party

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.”

Potholes take 4 years to repair in my street. Repeated potholes on regular routes I drive. Traffic lights don't work for months on end (not loadshedding related). Lack of water, we have instances where we go days without water

Too numerous to mention. Street lights out, traffic lights not working after load shedding, potholes in many places

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

Roads are in a terrible state with potholes and uneven areas. Road traffic is a major problem and urgent attention needs to be given to the traffic from Kommetjie, Ocean View and Scarborough towards Noordhoek. Its not acceptable to have to sit bumper-to-bumper every day. Road infrastructure MUST come before City of Cape Town approves developments.

Stop Squatters along pavements aswell as public toilets. People urinates in public . Loitering of youngsters at houseshops corners . All shebeens must be closed down in our communities and societies .It's a social evil. Stop dumping rubble and dirt on street corners. STOP BUILDING MALLS AND BUILD BIGGER GYMS AND PROVIDE PARKS !!Why did municipality allowed Zone fitness gym to closed down in Brackenfell.? There's enough Malls around Brackenfell . Don't turn humans into zombies!!





GYMS

Nothing ....

Delivery of services is excellent. The fact that we are not as affected by load shedding, as the rest of South Africa - says to me that they're doing something right!!

Corruption rules here. Stealing money is all they do very well. And if you're white, they demand you pay then kick you because "you owe them" for having a white skin.

Garbage collected every third week, mostly on a Sunday and then not all is taken either. And then the rates went up at the end of June 2022, go figure. No services, but the inhabitants of Mangaung must pay more for no service !!!
Roads in Bloemfontein are full of potholes.
Sewerage running in the street without any work being done on the problem.
Lack of water for days on end for supposed maintenance, which then breaks down immediately afterwards again.
Streets in Bloemfontein strewn with litter, pavements full of weed, grass on main road middlemen not cut.
Bloemfontein, the once City of Roses, can now be called the City of Garbage, thanks to the mismanagement of the Municipality under ANC rule.

Our people, well most of them, who are not in political positions, have a spirit of ubuntu. We have a beautiful country, beautiful nature reserves and wonderful people.

Working together with honest NPO's who are focused on service delivery and helping the poor. There are enough ideas already, if we all stand together and work together, change will come.
