Inconsistent refuse removal days cause confusion and opens refuse bins to theft as they are left outside the whole day.

Ward 72
Ward 72 has many problems, ranging from stormwater drainage systems that are clogged with sand pollution from mine dumps, sewage spillages believed to be caused by blasting at the mines as well as ant infestation of houses. The swimming pools are also rendered unusable by the sand pollution.
Our ward deserves a councillor who will speak out against this pollution and degradation of infrastructure caused by mining.
My position on illegal mining is that the DMRE issues artisan miners with licences so as to have some control and curb the killings associated with illegal mining.
Electrification of the informal settlement of Skoonplaas in Modder East will ease illegal connections and disruption of electricity supply for Eastvale residents and save lives.
Criminals who steal copper cables are causing unwarranted disruptions to the power supply for the residents. These cable thieves come from the same communities and strengthening community policing forums will root out this challenge once and for all.
Inconsistent refuse removal days confuse and opens refuse bins to theft as they are left outside the whole day.
Ward 72 has some of the big companies in South Africa operating from the ward.
However, no economic benefits are flowing from these companies for the residents of the ward.
Ward councillor candidates were invited to submit photographs and write-ups. Some candidates had not submitted information as requested.
