Q: What do you love about your township, what sets it apart from other townships?
What I love about my township is that it is full of diversity. What sets it apart from others is the way we support each other be it weddings, funerals or parties. You name it, the people here will be there for it. For me, it defines Ubuntu.
Q: What is your favourite family location in your township?
My favourite place has to be Dextors Buy and Braai. You encounter so many personalities and get life lessons from the people you meet.
Q: What is your favourite eating spot?
My favourite eating place in my township is Razzor Pizza. They have the best pizza I have ever had. My personal favourites are the Miano Delic and the original Inyamazana.
Q: What changes would you like to see in your township?
I would like to see people stop illegal dumping at street corners because it ruins the image of the township. I would love to work on community projects that help keep the environment clean.
I would love to reduce and ultimately stop all drug and substance abuse and the selling of drugs. Another change is the high crime rate. We need to reduce crime.
