DA fed up with the lack of service delivery
'We literally have to beg to get anything done'
DA chief whip in Randfontein Alwyn van Tonder has taken a stand against the lack of service delivery and urges the Randfontein Local Municipality to pull up its socks.
This was said in an interview with the herald where van Tonder stated “Despite residents being active in reporting issues of potholes, sewer and other service delivery concerns to the municipality, they are still made to wait for weeks on end before anything gets done.
“It goes without saying that the municipality is aware of the conditions of our roads and every other thing that residents are not satisfied with with.
“However even so, these are ignored on a regular basis and I feel that we literally have to beg to get anything done and that should not be the case.
“We are citizens who pay their rates and taxes and I feel that we should be getting our value for money and the municipality’s lame excuses,” says van Tonder.
He adds that in effort to address this, he and other local ward councillors continue to play their role in reporting residents concerns to the municipality with hopes that reaction to such concerns will change at some point.
The herald has contacted the Randfontein Local Municipality head of communications who was not immediately available for comment.
