Service delivery and a whole lot more. The price spiking of the value of our properties. The new values just enables Tshwane to up the rates and Taxes. Water leakages, the open manhole until a tragedy
We are tired of being ignored as a community. The lack of water, frequent power outages, unsafe streets, and illegal dumping are making life in Eersterust extremely difficult. These are basic services we should not have to fight for. We need immediate intervention and real solutions.
The other day it was said Tshwane does not have a budget but they can rework tsamaya street while they cant fix street lights in Eersterus and the Robots
Eersterust has been being neglected for a very long time now, and I think it's just disrespectful for the counselors being so nonchalant about it, it's just pathetic honestly. JUST DO WANT YOU GET PAID FOR!
Urgent concern: Streetlights in Eersterust are out, creating a safety risk. Residents are being robbed, and perpetrators can't be seen. Walls are being jumped, water pipes and meters are being stolen... it's getting out of hand.
God,you the only one that can make it possible,Amen!!!!!
The grass grows way too high in the community and has lots of risk for our children
