This is clearly a municipality that does not work for its people or its rate payers. Its works for the elite, the ‘bosses’. It shows at the traffic department, it shows in the roads department, the escalating fees for rural refuse removal, rejection of certain small-scale commercial or private developments for the approval of large developments who benefit no one except developers, the municipality and incomers. And to top it off, the poor service delivery within departments, the manner of communication is poor, untrained and disgusting as if it’s not the rates and tax payer responsible for filling the municipal wallet to pay for employees who resent having to work in the first place. Everyone is done being treated like second class citizens. EVERYONE. We are all first class, EVERYONE. Smile, respect, empathy. What of the farm-worker communities who were promised land access to activate agricultural activity on municipal land which remains dormant and useless? What of ******* taxi ranks forming on private property instead of being led by the municipality for a better solution? What of roads that now carry 100s of a people a day, demanding attention by the Mayor - but NOTHING. This Municipality does not work for its people. It works for the bosses.
Its been 29 weeks or almost 7 months Since Airfrance/KLM advised Travelstart that I was eligible for a full refund since the airline had cancelled a segment of my flight already due to COVID-19, this was in March 2020. The airline has advised that no refund, despite the pandemic, should have taken this long - and that was a month ago. I am beyond frustrated because the airline can't help since I booked through a third party (which is not even a travel agency) and Travelstart can't help me because apparently they're still waiting for the refund to reflect on their side, not from the Airline but from a central European bank of sorts. Now, 204 days later I have lost my patience and have started questioning the integrity of all parties involved - either one of them are doing well to ensure internal cashflow.
