MARCELL ROUX "It's the municipality's responsibility, but they clean once in a blue moon. I mostly do it myself."

The CHRONICLE asked readers whether they see it as their responsibility to keep their pavements clean. Should the municipality not do it?

This is what they had to say:

TOMMY OGDEN “The municipality does incomplete work. They cut down some branches on our sidewalk two months ago, but they never came back to clean up. So we did it ourselves.”
BULELANI MAKELENI “The municipality does not make it their responsibility, so I have made it my own.”
DEBBIE NEBBELING “It’s the municipality’s responsibility and we pay rates and taxes. But when they don’t, I do it myself. Where there’s grime there’s crime.”
BRIAN KUNENE “It’s the municipality’s responsibility, but they fail. They don’t inform us when they replace pipes and we have to fix the mess ourselves.”
