Our ward contributes so much money and is getting a sub standard service-we are happy to assist and subsidize other areas but we will not tolerate our area becoming a dump.Marina Constas (Johannesburg, 2021-02-03)

The municipal services for which we all diligently pay are NON-EXISTENT. If no services, we will not continue to pay rates & taxes.Laura Ausker (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

I am appalled at the complete lack of service delivery to an affluent area for which we pay exorbitant rates and taxes. This only attests to the corruption and theft that runs rife within government.Stefanie Bove (Johannesburg, 2021-02-03)

Service delivery has to remain in place and be efficiently managed for growth of a community. Failing this is basically throwing away the communityIan Herkes (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

Bedfordview is a disgrace. Ekurhuleni Metro has failed residents and ratepayers. We contribute substantially to the Metro's revenue base. We deserve effective and efficient services!Wendy Zipp (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

The state of our community is appalling considering the municipality receives of R100 million a year in rates and taxes.Evi Zacharis (Johannesburg, 2021-02-03)

It’s disgraceful the way our suburb looks. We pay very high rates and taxes and none of those funds are used to maintain, never mind improve, our suburb.Service delivery is non existent, and it’s an injustice that e carry on paying for a service that is non existent.

Bedfordview is my home and to see it deteriorating at the rate it currently is, is a shame. There is no excuse for it.Damian Joseph (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

I am a resident in Bedfordview and it looks disgusting. It used to be so pretty.I am disgusted by the failure of the Ekurhuleni municipality. The incompetence is mind boggling!!!!!

I'm signing this because my tax contribution toward the cleanliness of our Bedfordview community is "NOT" being properly utilized. Our municiple pavements, streets, trees, storm water drains and parks continue to be neglected to such a point that we have to rely on volunteers as well as initiatives such as Better Bedfordview.Merilyn Byers-Horton (Germiston, 2021-02-03)

Bedfordview residents get ZERO service delivery while we are paying very high rates and taxes. It is unacceptable!!Andy Bee (Johannesburg, 2021-02-03)

I believe Ward Councillors must have access to direct communication with all relevant heads of department without political interference.Tim Brink (Edenvale, 2021-02-03)
#59
I’m a resident of Bedfordview and believe our contribution to paying rates and taxes is not being utilized to keep our neighborhood safe and clean because of corruption and maladministration brought on by a couture of cadre deployment and the appointment of government officials within our municipality who do not have either the skill or competence to manage and run the greater ekhuruleni municipality efficiently and effectively.George Mazis (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

I am a long term property owner (+40 years) in Harcus Road, Bedfordview and am critically concerned at the deterioration of the suburb. My engagement with the Parks Department has been utterly fruitlessChris Nel (Bedfordviee, 2021-02-03)

I’m signing this because I’m tired of seeing the degradation within Bedfordview. We pay more than our fair share of rates and taxes and have little to show for it.Peter Nel (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)
#71
We need to save our city, everything is deteriorating, our roads are pathetic, you can't drive a 100m without bumps and ruts and potholes, our storm water systems are not maintained or upgraded, our streets and pavements are a sight for sore eyes. We also need to hold council responsible for the rubbish work that 3rd party contractors leave behind after their cable or other installations. They do a less then half decent job and disappear, leaving bumps and holes in the road.Zeyad Ismail (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)
#72
The infrastructure visibly regressingPaying personally and corporate taxation in the municipal area which I believe is being poorly managed for more than thirty years
On a business basis we can change the job creation opportunities and create meaningful opportunities and at the same time improve road maintenance but no response to communications by the decision makers
Angela Broom (Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-03)

I am a proud citizen and resident of Bedfordview. Our community has always supported one another and the local authorities. However, our suburb os no longer being looked after. As residents we pay our rates and taxes, yet nothing is being done in our suburb in terms of maintenance and repairs, nevermind growth and innovation.Samantha Botha (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)
#76
We pay such high rates & taxes every month, but our suburb looks like a mess. The grass is overgrown; there are weeds everywhere.The potholes are too many to count. Why should we pay when there is absolutely no service delivery?!
Sunita Maharaj (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

Bedfordview is becoming a dump. Pavements uncut, roads full of potholes, vagrants at all traffic lites, trees overgrown, rats everywhere, services not maintained, rates and taxes exorbitant and not allocated to requirements.Sandra Ferreira (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

I am signing because we pay our rates and taxes every month, pandemic or no pandemic - services or no servicesAnd it’s enough now. We demand services! Our roads are disgusting, pavements unkept, parks neglected! Where is our money going to??? Enough stealing and it’s time to give back

I’m tired of paying rates and taxes and not seeing any benefit. I am tired of hearing all the stories about ill-spent money by government procurement. All we do is pay large sums of rates and income taxes and for that we get BAD attitude and service delivery (which is non existent) whenever we try to deal with any level of government department or official, no service, no maintenance of our town, collapsing infrastructure.. what is our money being spent on? I want City of Ekurhuleni to prove that none of our tax money has been spent on corrupt transactions- or if it has, that those implicated (officers and suppliers) are being investigated and/or have been chargedBelinda Berry (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)
#105
The municipal service delivery in Bedfordview is shockingly poor and unacceptable, and needs to be sorted out immediately.The incompetent municipality managers have to be removed, and replaced with competent and accountable personnel.
As a community we should withhold all municipal payments and bring them to their knees and some form of accountability .......

Bedfordview looks disgraceful. Public spaces need to be maintained in order not to fall into a state of disrepair. In a country where infrastructure and service delivery is in critical demand, it is wasteful to allow the infrastructure we already have to deteriorate.Gianfranco Talocchino (Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-03)
#117
It is a disgrace on how we have to listen daily how billions have been looted by those very people that are in service to run our country. All you see these days and it’s everywhere is filth, overgrown pavements, grass growing in the roads, potholes and us the tax payers must continue paying and now even face being increased for services that are non existing. It is appualling to say the least !!!Veronica Maguire (Johannesburg, 2021-02-03)
#118
Service delivery is either slow or nonexistent. Electricity meters are not read, street lights not repaired, pot holes not repaired. Representatives of Ekurhuleni are apathetic & often unhelpful. Every complaint has to be referred to our councillor in an effort to get some service.Doreen Swanepoel (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

Tired of paying rates for zero service delivery.Haig Kingston (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)
#120
Given the amount we pay for services in this area I expect better. Municipality is very very quick to cut off services if one is a day late paying but not so quick to deliver services which is what we pay for.Trevor Clark (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)
#124
The current state of our environment has progressively deteriorated despite our investment in it to be well maintained and improved through our monetary contributions in the form of rates and taxes as well as property investment combined with all other expenditures within our comunityMichael Horton (Germiston, 2021-02-03)

Because we pay rates and taxes for NO SERVICE DELIVERY IT IS DISGUSTINGChristopher Claesson (Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-03)
#143
We as rate payers are not getting service delivery from Ekhuruleni.Our suburb has never been neglected as it has in the last few years.What are our rates and taxes being used for? Please publish information on this.
Perhaps we can then reconsider our stance in payment to the council .

I live here, the roads, drains and pavements are no longer maintained. The water leaks are continuous and due to mismanagement we are soon going to hit a cliff on this precious resource as population grows and these is no increase in storage capacity.Mark Danckwerts (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

Residents keep paying towards government failures. It’s time they did their job and drive enhancements and not degradation. No improvements ever come from local municipal officesColin Jarman (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

Our suburb is falling apart.Gaetano Altini (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)
#173
Our suburb is falling apart. Service and maintenance of public areas are almost nil. Potholes, long grass, burst pipes, sewerage leaks/power outages occur continuously . If repairs are made the areas are left incomplete, and sometimes somewhat dangerous. We pay heavy rates for nil serviceJudy Webb (Bedfordview/ Ekurhleni, 2021-02-03)

Bedfordview needs urgent repairs and maintenance. Our roads are crumbling, our water pipes are cracking and bursting the sewage is polluting our wetlands.... Far too many issues to list...René Clulow (Morninghill,, 2021-02-03)

The state of our town is disgusting with very little or no support from council and metro. We pay a lot to reside in this town and do not get anything in return. Time to catch a wake up.Anthony Willows (Gauteng, 2021-02-03)
#185
I believe we are not getting fair value for our rates from the municipality. Maintenance is not happening in spite of the amount of outstanding work and the high unemployment rate. The city of Ekurhuleni is in a poor state and property values are dropping. It is almost impossible to get any customer service even through Ward Councilors.Eric Bennett (Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-03)
#187
I am sick and tired of paying rates and taxes but living in a pig styeI can’t walk my dogs because the pavement no longer exists. The trees on Riley road hang over our complex, messing leaves and damaging our electric fence. The trees are so high and heavy they at risk of falling in our complex like other trees in the area have done recently. The pavement WE PAID to pave has been destroyed by the council. Enough is enough.

#192
Bedfordview is certainly going backwards when one looks at the upkeep of even basic services such a water pipes and sewerage. Pavements are not kept and roads are not rehabilitated after temporary work is done. Temporary fixes to water supply are left open and exposed.Craig Younh (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

We get extremely poor service from Ekhuruleni Council. Public space grass is overgrown, Sewerage overflow spillage is regular, dangerous potholes are left unrepaired. These issues are driving down our property prices and forcing us to live in a disgusting area.Robert Whitecross (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)
