Service delivery

There is minimal service delivery in our area. The roads are totally messed up and only the community is attempting repairs. We are over taxed and the cost of living is high.

Our municipalities have failed us in the worst ways possible yet they receive their remuneration whether the produce results or not. We are over taxed yet we must keep on paying civil servants who don’t perform and increases on top of that. I don’t reward poor service delivery. Let them produce results and we shall reconsider. Carrot and stick approach.

Tax rates are high.
Poor civil servants salary remains the same.
Cost of living too high.
South African politicians don't think twice when implementing these laws. Some can afford, others not.

Salaries and wages are going down while cost of living is risng. People have to buy jobs. If your surname is not popular its difficult to find s job in South Africa.

THe damaged road on 7 passes between Wildernis and George has been closed for a long time now and is seriously disrupting the local community, and is making it more difficuilt for children to get to school in George. The national road between Wildernis and George via kaaiman's river also took a long time to be rebuilt, and this looks like wastefull expenditure, since the old road was fine and didnt need any extensive repair, appart from, a re-seal. THe newly built road had had its top surface again removed before the river crossing, and this looks like CORRUPTION at work. Please investigate the whole project.

I don’t mind paying taxes however then services need to be delivered. This is clearly not the case and as such a freeze on payments should be made until commitment for action is achieved. Then funds released as and when work is successfully completed. Not before.

Municipal collapse

Our municipality fails us for years. It costs a lot just to keep your vehicle running because of potholes. We have to pay private people to do the municipal chores because they do nothing. We simply cannot fund people who does nothing. One gets paid for doing a job, not for doing nothing.

Rates and taxes to be lowered, as we are getting NO SERVICE at all. We are paying for what? It is ridiculous. Even if you sell your house you do not even get the money that you are paying rates & taxes for as the valuation is higher than the market value of the house. Our streets are filthy & no one even cuts the pavements anymore or cuts the trees. Pot holes have become a norm. Rates and taxes have become unaffordable to the average person. With all the increases in government services & inflation it is becoming impossible to keep the roof over your head and government is making it difficult for us to have a basic right of shelter over our heads. If rates & taxes continue to increase government will cause the property market to crash and cause more properties to be abandoned.....causing decay and municipalities to become bankrupt due to non payment.

Cost of living is a run away train with no control, we cannot afford increases of any kind. The WHO has already made no more middle classes
