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.” | |
David | Kensington | No I am not | Filthy streets Running grey water Crime Lawlessness on the roads | Very little at the moment. My friends keep me sane. | |
Debbie | Yes I am | Best run province | The ease of logging a call. Speedy response, CLEAN SUBURB | ||
Miles | Mossel Bay | Yes I am | DA led. Honest and committed. | They work and don't steal in mossel bay. | |
Boikanyo | Motlhabeng/Mase | No I am not | 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 |

Shiraz | Central town | No I am not | Municipality run by totally incompetent, corrupt people and is constantly struggling to provide very basic services. The council has been and is predominantly ANC which explains everything, doesn't it ? | ||
Gail | Nest Park Bapsfontein | Yes I am | Proactive and involved with its residents. Management is good. Generally everything works | Diversity and open mindedness to small business enterprises. South Africa is vibrant with so many possibilities to put it right back internationally if everyone will just give everyone a chance. I love this country and all its ethnic groups. there is no other nation like it. /we are all just South Africans wanting the same things! | See all of the above |

Jon | George | Yes I am | George Municipality is keeping our town running smoothly. Providing basic services & providing opportunities for job creation. It is planning towards future growth & providing for increased services | George is a friendly town where people live in harmony and can enjoy freedom to walk the streets & in the mountain without fear of attack ( although it does occasionally happen) SA is a wonderful country to live in & is able to support all its citizens if the BEE & labour laws were done away with thereby creating a place for new work opportunities & for foreign investment |
