Somerset West, City of Cape Town

1) Ward Councillor's are a waste of money. Cllr do not have any authority of Municipal Officials but suggest residents raise their concerns with the Officials. This is thoughtless as the resident will have less authority than the Cllr. The Councillor is expected to continually ask the Officials to carry out their mandated duty.
2) E-mails are not responded to. Concerns are therefore ignored.
3) Approval of Developments in terms of City of Cape Town Municipal Planning Bye Law are given, despite aspects of the Development Application being non-compliant with the requirements of the City of Cape Town Municipal Planning Bye - Law .
4) The City of Cape Town allows SANRAL to have the freedom to implement projects within the City which have a negative and inconsiderate impact on residents of the City of Cape Town. Am refering specifically to the road project referred to as, "Realignment of N2 National Road from De Beers Road, Somerset West to the start of Sir Lowry's Pass.
The City of Cape Town (CCT) generally fufills their mandated duties but is definitely not operating as a so-called "World- Class City". CCT still has some improvement in their operation functions before it can be called a "World- Class City". For example the turn around duration of the reinstatements of road surfaces has untill recently been as long as one-year. It is now between 3 to 6 months. It should not be longer than one week. The reasons given for the delay is reflection of poor management and the workers union's being allowed to slow down the repair duration.

Nothing gets fixed. Citizens, Knysna Infrastructure Group, Afriforum and other businesses are fixing potholes, Water pumps , sewerage leaks while council sits in meetings and issues updates . No action.
We have cattle roaming the streets that belong to persons connected to councillors in a time where Foot and Mouth disease is rife.
We have a beautiful country and there is a great deal of goodwill between the various groups of people.
Yes. We need a strong community leader to rally together voters to vote in people that want to and will reverse the decay that is all oround us.

Ignorance of the land invasion by both foreigners and local forming informal settlement around our areas viz Amandasig, Orchards
Good loving and respectful citizens who support each other.
We need Leaders who knows and respect leadership. By firstly being led and to be authentic, honest, truthful, respectful of humanity, selfless and delivery driven. Lastly passionate about the country and its futuristic plans for generations to come.
Provide professional workmanship in all services and inspectorate on quality be done and planning and monitoring be awakened. The Taxes that we are bleeding from working class is shameful that we cannot see its use because of mismanagement or glueless personnel occupying critical positions of serious decision making. Our President needs to wake up and safe our infrastructures which is diminishing as being destroyed. At least Mr. President please FEAR God rather than man. You have been allowed to be in this position for a reason, please don't drop the ball. You can do it .

Specifically very poor quality Water Pipe repairs.
"Repaired" on a Sunday
Burt's again the following Sunday
All road material removed is left lying in front of residence for weeks if not months.
My community is very caring.
Shameful treatment by the Municipality.

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!!

There are potholes that rarely gets fixed, and if they are fixed, its poorly done, causing the holes to open up again in several days. roads are not painted. gravel roads are not scraped. waste is not removed.

Crime and Grime abounds. Delinquent maintenance of infrastructure as seen: Potholes, Unreliable supply of electricity and Unreliable supply of water.

Waste collection is non existent in the rural areas, and the management of waste is poor
AIP removal non existent
We pull together as a community, everyone looks out for each other
Train those responsible for verge maintenance in AIP removal and give them pride in their work
Institute a proper recycling system in the district so that people get rewarded for recycling
Educate children about the environment
