I find the excuses for street lights down unacceptable as a rate payer.

The streetlight confront of my house always out

(Kemptonpark, 2021-02-03)

#610

We are paying rates and taxes. We DEMAND service.

(Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#612

It's a disgrace that simple maintenance doesn't take place

(Benono, 2021-02-03)

#615

City of Ekurhuleni must be held accountable for lack of service. Street lights are very important for the safety of the community

(Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#618

The street lights have been out of order since we moved in and criminals are enjoying it.

The street light bying off is a huge security risk.
We as rate payers pay for that service

(Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#622

I'm signing because I live in Ekurhuleni and I am affected as well

(Johannesburg, 2021-02-03)

#623

We need to sort out soonest surely the Mayor and "counselors" will not have these problems

(Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#626

No street lights in Commissioner street pitch dark very dangerous

(Boksburg, 2021-02-03)

#627

The Kempton Park municipality is slacking on so many levels, & the street lights & pot holes URGENTLY need to be fixed & repaired because it’s a safety risk to all citizens.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-03)

#635

The lack of service is appalling. We are expected to pay our rates but when it comes to service, Covid has now become another excuse not to do the work or to say it's not a priority.
Where's the integrity and pride in the workplace gone to?

(Esther Park, Kempton Park, 2021-02-03)

#636

Of our safety, the dark road is not safe

(Primrose, 2021-02-03)

#637

Street lights on above road have not worked for months. Reported several times but not been attended to.
This is unacceptable as this becomes a security risk and is dangerous for residents coming home at night. I’m a woman driving on my own with kids in the car and was very scary arriving home at night. Council is really slack on their service delivery and are putting people’s lives at risk for hijackings and muggings and who knows what else? Do you care Ekurhuleni Municipality?!?!?!?

(Kempton park, 2021-02-03)

#638

No lights dangerous

(Primrose, 2021-02-03)

#639

This is a Major problem in our area and a huge security problem as we can't see anything at Night time in certain sectors of the street

(Primrose, 2021-02-03)

#643

I'm signing this petition to get the relevant department to fix the basic supply of street lights, water and sanitation

(Johannesburg, 2021-02-03)

#644

I'm signing because street lights are important to prevent crime in the community. Street lights are part of the CoE service delivery and community members need to feel safe.

(Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#648

I'm signing this because our street lights have been off for more than a month.

(Alberton, 2021-02-03)

#650

The street lights are forever out in my street but always on elsewhere all day.

(Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#651

Service delivery is very poor. Street lights and roads are not maintained.

(Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#653

Criminality thrives in darkness.

(Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#659

My streetlights are always out

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#663

For safety reasons

(Benoni, 2021-02-04)

#664

We have had 2 "blown" street lights right next to our residence, causing total darkness for over a month now.

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#670

Street lights in Ash and Willow roads in Primrose, Germiston are out of order. We have been trying to log incidents on the app, with no success.

(Primrose, Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#671

We pay taxes for service delivery.

(Johannesburg, 2021-02-04)

#673

Poor service delivery when it comes to fIxing and repairing the street lights

(Alberton, 2021-02-04)

#677

We are paying our rates but lights not working as it should

(Alberton, 2021-02-04)

#681

I am so tired of paying and getting no return. Please we need you to start employment on the basis of abilities, or we need to chat about recompensation for the either vicarious liability or. delict as as result of the damage your ineffective employees are causing. It’s time for us to sue

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#684

My streetlight pole number 19 in Chapman Rd has been off since September 2020 even though I've reported it several times and nothing has been done about it.

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#686

Street lights never works in this area

(Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-04)

#688

Many vulnarable families are one parent and children or elderlies living by themselfs in our areas. It has been proven by the stredt lights causjng total darkness and together eith that the removal of our police station. All these situations are creating easy targeging for those who want to house-rob/ physical attacks/rape/etc.

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#695

Sick and tired of streetlights that are not working..dangerous

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#696

And get a contractor to check they operation st night when the lights are on anyway. It is wasteful to leave them on all day. Also repair day/night timer switches that Jacques Meiring said were responsible.

(Benoni, 2021-02-04)

#699

I made an accident in November because street lights were out, it was raining and I couldn't see where I was driving.

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#704

I care about the comunity that I live in and as a rate paying member I feel strongly that the Metro needs to start stepping us and providing value.

(Alberton, 2021-02-04)

#707

Streetlights have not been repaired in the last few month.I am paying accounts towards ekurhuleni on a monthly basis and demans service.

(germiston, 2021-02-04)

#711

Because something needs to be done

(ekurheleni, 2021-02-04)

#712

Street lights need to be repaired to ensure safety of residents. Grass on verges need to be cut so we can see oncoming traffic.

(Ekhuruleni, 2021-02-04)

#715

The lack of streetlights are compromising our safety

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#716

We need the council to do their job! The street lights are off since Dec!
Come do your job please!

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#717

It cannot be acceptable that street lights are not in working order...

(Primrose, 2021-02-04)

#723

EKURHULENI IS PATHETIC,

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#724

Because it is necessary

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#728

In Dorking Avenue there is about 10 street light and only 2 works. This is unacceptable

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#730

I'm signing because I don't feel save driving in the dark

(Lethabong, 2021-02-04)

#731

Because you are giving us service

(ELSPARK, 2021-02-04)

#732

The street lights in my area, as well as in the street in front of my house, regularly are OFF. I have raised multiple complaints with the Ekurhuleni call centre. This is a huge security risk and we beg Ekurhuleni for urgent attention to this problem.

(Boksburg, 2021-02-04)

#733

Lives of residents are at risk

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#736

The service delivery is non-existent. What are the council doing with our rates & taxes / income tax. Enough is enough, stop paying rates.

(Boksburg, 2021-02-04)

#738

I am fed up with the fact that the counsil is not helping us with the power surge problems and if you claim they don't want to compensate you at all for the appliance that you lost because of it.

(Kempton park, 2021-02-04)

#741

Our entire street has been without lights since beginning of January and despite several complaints to the energy department on the app.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-04)

#742

The street lights in Hamelia Road has been out / off for more than a year now. This is dangerous for us as unwanted elements use the cover of darkness to break in.

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#745

I'm signing because it is so dangerous having no street lights giving the criminals care Blanche to commit crimes. Not acceptable. My rates pay for this.

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#746

I haven’t had working streetlights outside my home for over 1 month. In a country with such high crime levels, light is a key factor for safety and something my taxes pay for.

(Ekhuruleni, 2021-02-04)

#748

We struggle at night to see what is going on in our street

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#749

It is ridiculous that we pay our dues but do not get the service we are paying for. And in these days surrounded by Squatter camps with 100's of unemployed people it increases the risk for crime and not having street lights makes it so much easier for criminals to operate

(Parkhill Gardens, 2021-02-04)

#750

Crime is getting out of hand at night and we can't see anything on the street

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#752

In Bergweg werk die straat ligte nou vir die laaste 3maande net aan die helfde van die straat. Sonder ligte is die straat gevaarlik

(Alberton, 2021-02-04)

#753

Because the lights are there for a reason........ to light up at night.

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#755

Because we have personally reported faulty street lights numerous times since June 2020 and not a single one had been fixed!

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-04)

#756

Firstly we pay rates and taxes, why are we not getting any services, primrose is going down the toilet fast, it's heartbreaking to see.
Street lights are essential to our well-being, we need to see what's going on around us, criminals and Prostitute's are able to move around at night without being detected, this is a security issue for the community.
I for one am disgusted by the attitude of the people who are supposed to serve us, they serve only themselves !!!

(Primrose, 2021-02-04)

#757

Safety of tesidents is the responsibility of the Metro. Crime rising in dark areas where lights dont work.

(Alberton Randhart, 2021-02-04)

(Boksburg Parkdene, 2021-02-04)

#761

Street lights are not working at night. The whole area is in complete darkness at night and it is very dangerous. Needs to be fixed urgently please.

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#762

We shouldn't be complaining there should be daily inspections done by council... daily maintenance, not only lights, cutting grass on pavements, cutting trees regularly, tarring roads...etc that's what rates are for!

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#764

I pay rates and taxes to have this service! I am not getting what I am paying for to keep my family and I safe and secure! Failing dismally to provide!

(Alberton, 2021-02-04)

#765

We live in the area of the Solheim koppie and it is extremely dark. We also need the trees cut that are Hani g on the electric cables as it is causing electrical problems in our homes.......

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#769

It's dangerous to travel in unlit areas and secondly, we are paying for these services AND ARE ENTITLED TO GET THEM WITHOUT CONSTANT NAGGING!!!

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#770

I am tired of paying rates and taxes but streetlights are not repaired pavements are not repaired streets are full of potholes and nothing is done about it

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#771

This has to be done urgently. My and all my neighbours safety is at steak here.

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#775

We need street lights 24/7 it is too dangerous not to have street lights at night

(Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-04)

#776

And a lot of lights is on 24hrs a day.

(Primrose, 2021-02-04)

#777

I’m signing this because we need to fix our community and get what we pay for

(Alberton, 2021-02-04)

#779

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-04)

#782

I have reported the street light in front of my property numerous times but falls on deaf ears.
It is so dangerous in ours times to be in the dark

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#784

Im signing because I pay rates and taxes and recveive no service from the municipality

(Germiston, 2021-02-04)

#788

My neighbours light has not worked for ages. My experience with the Technicians has always been good. They are fast and work well. But we dont see them anymore....

(Germiston, 2021-02-05)

#789

I am tired of logging it with Ekurhuleni call center with no changes. I have logged it with Ekurhuleni for 2 years now and no change.

Do your job and fix what you should have fixed a long time ago.

(Elspark, 2021-02-05)

#791

Services are paid for, action required, accountability of local government demanded.

(Germiston, 2021-02-05)

#792

Had enough of reporting faulty street lights almost daily.

(Primrose Germiston, 2021-02-05)

#793

Its is dangerous with o street lights and it is a service we pay for qoth rates and taxes and our rights to have this maintained

(Germiston, 2021-02-05)

#794

I'm signing this petition as a resident of Alberton who pays her rates and taxes in a timely manner, we have the right to feel safe in our community especially at night.

(Alberton, 2021-02-05)

#795

Sparking street lights are a dangeŕ to those who don't know as weĺ as to cars riding past. A dark road area is a security risk for people living there.

(Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-05)

#797

All street light MUST be working because for safety reasons . All high jacking that take place and robberies . Security and SAPS NEED LIGHT TO SEE AT NIGHT.and we pay rates and taxes to have those facilities . Street light are not a luxury they are a necessity. Amen

(Alberton, 2021-02-05)

#798

I would like the street light repaired, water pipes, wholes in the street and poor services seen to

(Meyersdal Alberton, 2021-02-05)
