Stellenbosch Municipality

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.
