As the community of Peacehaven, situated in Gauteng South within the Sedibeng District Municipality, under Emfuleni Local Municipality, we have initiated this petition with the aim of sending it to the Public Protector in the hope of receiving an intervention due to serious lack of services from ELM

Our suburb experiences the following:

1. Inconsistent waste collection (we are on a bi-weekly schedule, but even than our waste does not get picked up as it should and when the truck does come out, some streets are skipped). On the drafting of this petition, it'd week 4 without any waste collection.

2. Frequent water leaks & water outages (there are several water leaks and some have been reported and remain unattended for several years. There are fresh water streams, and some are sewerage). We suspect that the water outages could be a result from the water leaks.

3. Poor road conditions ( almost every street has huge potholes which do not get repaired which cause safety hazards when trying to avoid them).

4. Lack of street lighting (this is a danger as it is unsafe when the streets are dark)

5. Parks and side paths not being consistently cut (the grass is as high as the walks)

6. Incorrect billing system for water and services

7. Little to no response on concerns raised
