Residents speak about elections: What issues should be prioritised?
Randfontein residents have their say about what should be a priority by the government in power following the national elections.
With the national elections less than a few weeks away and several problems needing urgent attention in Rand West City, the Randfontein Herald reached out to residents who wish to have their say about what they feel should be prioritised.
Gloria Laubscher said that pensioners should get free medical aid along with pensioner discounts from shops. She added that the elderly should also receive extra protection from law enforcement.
Hein de Lange stated that the power restrictions must be dislodged and the town should be cleaned.
“Work issues should be prioritised. There should be a strong focus on creating jobs for the community,” Nonkululeko Mdaka said.
Tshepo Makgalemele also thinks that work should be a priority. He said the residents and the governing party should work together without allowing race to intervene.
“The first problem that should be prioritised is electricity. Secondly, the youth that has finished school should be able to get a job without struggling. Another issue is the water. We should all stand united because this is our country. The governing party should stand for its community,” Dipuo Mapanza said.
