    What’s truly shameful is the way we hold the DA to such ridiculous standards yet the ANC seem to be forgiven for the most atrocious and shameful performance and behaviour… yet we comment on two opposition members having a dispute! QUESTION: Has the ANC got ANYTHING DONE in 30 years!!!! GIVE ME A BREAK!

      @@swneethling3157 He is clearly not competent though. He is dismally failing the people of Tshwane, residents and workers alike. He's a great example of white incompetence. I thought Noone can be worse than Tania Campbell.
      The decisions he's taking are also pointing to a lack of intelligence aswell.

    I grew up in Pretoria in the 1950's/60's and it was an absolute pleasure. Never had this problem with rubbish collection.
    Our house was in Daspoort and we still had the bucket system for a toilet.. there too, never had a problem.
    Service delivery was aways outstanding.
    All the best Cilliers Brink 🧢💙🧢

    I am also a Tshwane resident. While this illegal strike continues, the residents are obliged to pay more than R400 per month for a service that is not delivered. Failure to deliver services to residents is a deriliction of duty, and is also in contravention of the Constitution of the country. If it is a "small violent elite", how come they can't be brought under control? I am retired, and really can not pay for services not delivered.

      The missing billions date back to before 2016 when the ANC controlled Tshwane, and more recently, when the Gauteng Province placed Tshwane under Administration. This allowed the ANC to regain control of the Municipality for nearly two years!!
