In Jo’burg our Water Demand Levy increased by 280% over 5 years
That is an annual increase of 56% (!!!)
We get charged R 107.74 per month as residential ratepayers for what exactly?
Jhb Water says the levy helps fund infrastructure maintenance, upgrades, and capital projects.
This includes:
Replacing ageing pipes and infrastructure
Building & upgrading reservoirs to improve storage and reliability
Do you think they are spending our money well or we are just being abused?

This is ridiculous. I’ve been to cities where it rains all the time but there are no potholes and the grass is cut and trees trimmed. There is just no will to get the basics done. They must keep talking like this and treating people like idiots and I am sure they will get the appropriate reply at the polls.

Whether you believe in a higher power or not, Joburg collapsing in real time right before a municipal election could not be a clearer sign of why you need to vote.
And vote wisely.

VOTER INSANITY… Voting for a party that promises to fix the mess, which they created in the first place😂

The Joburg Metro Police fleet has been grounded. Why? Because all their petrol cards have been blocked!
Incompetence on another level. Vote the ANC-EFF-PA-Al Jama-ah OUT!

CAPE TOWN vs JOBURG: Spot the difference! 🛑 ➡️ ✅
When a truck dislodged an N1 bridge on Saturday, the DA-led City of Cape Town worked non-stop to fix it by Monday. That’s the DA difference - a government that gets things done!
Meanwhile in Joburg, the failing ANC-EFF-PA-Al Jam-ah coalition leaves our crumbling bridges unsafe and neglected.
Joburg deserves a government that works!

So this happened this week… welcome to my TED Talk.
Not sure why I called him a “gent”… he’s not a gentleman. He’s a thief. A robber. Jammer.
Also, I forgot to add… get a dashcam. It’s not great quality but if we all had one, maybe then it would all be a bit more of a deterrent to robbers.
Stay safe South Africa.
Okay. Love you. Bye.

“Don’t attack us, don’t kill our children, we will stop attack your diesel. And I think it’s a fair, fair deal.”

In amongst all the fucking trash in power these days. Is this man. A true leader and despite the odds is keeping Russia back. Ukraine does not need a new leader they just need Russia and the US to replace theirs. NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT UKRAINE 🇺🇦

They removed our water tanker banner from Tshwane House, but the questions it raised remain.
R777 million was spent on water tankers under the ANC/EFF/ActionSA coalition. DA Tshwane is demanding answers about this spending.
