The service is beyond pathetic

I am sick and tired of this pathetic useless municipality!!!

Service delivery, maintenance to infrastructure is nonexistent. I pay my account and expect to live in a clean environment the parks grass has not been cut for months, it's not only a place for criminals to thrive but dangerous to road users.

Refuse not being collected on time is a health hazard and with super spreader virus also known as covid doing the rounds it's unacceptable to have these bins outside for days, while people without masks and sanitizer dig in them continuously throughout the day.

This pathetic municipality is run by ANC thieves and it's about time these pathetic people who obviously are incapable of doing their jobs should be fired.

The Municipality in Kempton Park (Ekurhuleni) is totally useless. This include electricity, waste, water, roads etc.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-11)

The non removal of waste is a health risk. We are paying for no service and have to pay private companies to remove our refuse to avoid having rodents invading our house

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-11)

#12

I'm tired of paying for services that I'm not getting
Then people strike for more money
Fire them and employ someone who wants to work

(Benoni, 2021-02-11)

#15

We are experiencing waste challenges every year with no solution in sight. What are we paying for?

(Kemptonpark, 2021-02-11)

#16

Service is pathetic. Kempton is becoming a dangerous, filthy, unhygienic 3rd country town

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-11)

#18

I'm signing this because services that we paid for are not being delivered.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-11)

#19

Service delivery is very poor: refuse removal is far behind

Of the lack of service delivery

(Kempton park, 2021-02-11)

#28

The basic services that we are paying for is not being done.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-11)

#31

To live in a healthy environment is a constitutional right.

(bonaero park, 2021-02-11)

#32

I feel that service should be provided where it was paid for, residents pay for services not received. The lack of service holds potential health and safety risks

(Kempton park, 2021-02-11)

#35

It's UNACCEPTABLE to keep on paying for services not forthcoming.

(Norkem Park, 2021-02-11)

#36

The situation is totally unacceptable.

(Bedfordview, 2021-02-11)

#37

It's a mess all over!!!!!

(Benoni, 2021-02-11)

#38

I am shocked at the unprecedented Waste Crisis in the history of the City.

(Benoni, 2021-02-11)

#42

Of the mis management of services in Ekurhuleni.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-12)

#48

Lack of service delivery causing a health hazard

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#49

We deserve better

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#51

The potential health hazards

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#52

Actually, this petition is a waste of time.
We dealing with a complex set of circumstances.
Unlike a, terminal, disease, this polidicktion thing cannot be cured or corrected.
Pretty much like me running Comrades Marathon. Will not happen.
Only difference is, they get the winners purse.

(Germiston, 2021-02-12)

#53

I am really fed up with the state of the city. Nothing works any more. Dustbins are not collected on time. Rubbish everywhere. People shouldn't have to live like this.

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#58

Enough is enough, we need competent people in council. We need people to be accountable for the actions / non actions just like normal citizens have to be accountable to pay there bills.

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#59

Of poor governance, corruption and cadre deployment

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#61

This situation has not only become intolerable and a huge thread to our health, but also smacks of government's disregard for our basic rights

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-12)

#69

Paying for services not being rendered is fraud and rate payers should be refunded. Enough is enough with all the lies as to why we continue to have the same issues monthly and why our city is becoming so dirty and unkept. We need a long term commitment with a plan to get our city back to being beautiful which we can be proud of.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-12)

#72

The waste issue is getting worse and affecting our health.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-12)

#75

Why must these people get paid if they are not doing what they were appointed to do. They applied for these jobs so they must either do their jobs or resign.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-12)

#79

Waste Services are not effecrively delivered causing great health risks - an yet citizens are firced to pay for such non deluvery of service.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-12)

#87

I'm sick of seeing this suburb go down the drain while we keep paying taxes and services!

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#90

An absolute disgrace that we are forced to part with hard earned cash that is NOT being spent where it should be. Give Benoni to the residents to manage. In business incompetence results in radical change so these fat cats need to be removed!

(BENONI, 2021-02-12)

#99

Waste is a problem

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#101

We are paying for a service that we are not getting.

(Johannesburg, 2021-02-12)

#102

Those charged with the collection of ratepayers money and the delivery of services HAVE to be held to account....

(Akberton, 2021-02-12)

#105

This is fast becoming a major problem in our area

(Alberton, 2021-02-12)

#111

The wate collection is not up to standard and I have to clean up the mess after the truck has emptied the bins

(Alberton, 2021-02-12)

#113

Why should I continue to pay my rates and taxes , so you can steal the money and not provide the services

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#115

Im signing thia because we have a huge environmental waste problem on hand. This problem can escalate to health issues in our area. Why has Ekurhuleni not implemented a recycling initiative this will at least sort the issue with these huge health hazars waste dumps. Be the leaders in Gauteng for this initiative !!!!!

(Alberton, 2021-02-12)

#118

This is a service we pay for, and it is council's responsibility to ensure that it is delivered.

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#119

I pay for services not rendered. That is considered theft of my money!

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#123

I am extremely concerned about this situation and the lack of service delivery

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#125

I pay rates

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#128

We pay most expensively for service delivery we do not get

(Rynfield, 2021-02-12)

#129

This is a major service delivery issue which needs to be urgently addressed

(EKURHULENI, 2021-02-12)

#131

Incompetence of the ruling ANC in the Ekurhuleni Metro

(Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-12)

#132

Lack of Service delivery!

(Johannesburg, 2021-02-12)

#136

Waster are not collected

(Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-12)

#137

As a rate payer I expect service for what I am being charged for.

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#138

I am fed up to the gills with this dammed Ekhuruleni municipality and their ineptitude and incompetence

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#140

I am tired of paying for services that are erratic or non-existent while some politicians are being protected by security guards that cost R1m each. I drive around the city and see a total failure in maintenance and other services and even our water cannot be guaranteed because the council does not pay the contractors to complete the water tower or install a generator for when we have power cuts.

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#143

This will become a huge health hazard larger than the covid problem

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-12)

#145

I'm signing because of the total lack of vision that needs to alter. There are solutions available to cost-effectively minimise landfill requirements. In fact, if the City acted on its own RFQ issued years ago, there would now not have been any issue around waste, let alone this disaster playing out at the moment. This disaster is the result of lack of insight, lack of political will and, dare we say, lack of competence.

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#146

I am an architect and losing possible project because developers cannot develop any residential properties because council will not approve because of lack of water provision to new developments

(Kenpton Park, 2021-02-12)

#149

I'm signing this because this incompetence is unacceptable.

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#152

The extremely poor service from anc has destroyed this country. You are the enemy of the people

(Alberton, 2021-02-12)

#155

Sonething has to change!!!

(Edenvale, 2021-02-12)

#157

The services in our area are collapsing. Waste management, road maintenance are in a poor state.

(Brackenhurst, 2021-02-12)

#161

This situation should not happen. There is and always has been enough money to supply amenities. The money is being mismanaged, stolen and corrupted and it must stop. If they cannot cope, stand down to those who can. All the parasites in this country is smothering us into dirt darkness.

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#165

I am tired of the poor service delivery that we as taxpayers are paying for.

(Boksburg, 2021-02-12)

#169

Service delivery is non existing in Alberton. We are paying huge fees for nothing. Where are our monies going?

(Alberton, 2021-02-12)

#171

We pay our taxes and this council is doing nothing. No service delivery for what we are taxed

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#173

I’m sick of not having water

(Kempton park, 2021-02-12)

#179

We need service delivery

(Johannesburg, 2021-02-12)

#181

I have been directly affected by the poor service delivery regarding waste collection. Despite the pandemic, Ekurhuleni are creating a breeding ground for various diseases with the inability to supply the service we the residents religiously pay every month

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-12)

#182

I want proper service delivery. I pay my rates and taxes every month and not getting the service delivery as expected

(Alberton, 2021-02-12)

#184

I'm tired of the flies. The incessant problems with refuse collection and the never knowing if the local dumps are even going to be open!!

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-12)

#188

Rotting waste is a health hazard. It also attracts rodents, which are carriers of diseases.

(Edenglen, Edenvale, 2021-02-12)

#190

The service is really bad.

(Northmead, 2021-02-12)

#191

I’m tired of the mess in this country

(Bedfordview, 2021-02-12)

#193

Poor service delivery regarding refuse removal

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-12)

#195

Apart from the shocking service delivery, no person should be expected to work in conditions like at the local dump site!

(Benoni, 2021-02-12)

#198

I'm am supporting this petition because the many years of living in this town, so many amenities have gone downhill, now, this crisis to our waste management is the last straw. I urge you to urgently address the problems that this waste and environmental disaster has become and will escalate unless it is addressed.

(Edenvale, 2021-02-12)

#199

Why can't the refuse be collected on the days set. There are always trucks ou of order. All of them??? Why are they not serviced on an on going process. We pay ou rates and taxes and the service we receive is absolutely pathetic.
Never mind the state of our gardens, what a disgrace.

(Brackenhurst, Alberton, 2021-02-12)

#200

The waste management has got progressively worse each year.
