Apparently Marina Da Gama and surrounding areas like Muizenberg has a elected Ward Councillor. Who knew, and how these people get elected to these positions is a mystery. In the private sector job- security is dependent on performance and often many hours of overtime is spent without compensation.

Except for getting a Fat Cat Salary, what does a councillor of a ward do? Is a councillor economically sustainable.

Apparently should a taxpayer have allegations against their elected, the very least they can do is have the guts to say so in public.

Therefore my questions to the elected councillor for this area are: Why are the Main access roads into Marina Da Gama in such shocking condition? Why is Council owned property/land not maintained on a regular basis?

What have you done about the robots on Oudevlei Rd and Prince George Drive? Might I suggest you rise the same time as the working class one morning and look at the problem first hand.

Military road and Prince George Drive Traffic light: this one a absolute favorite for being knocked down on a regular basis. It doesn’t take much common sense to solve the problem cheaply. A concrete barrier or similarly strong metal barrier would help. The money wasted on repairs here could easily have paid for robots for Oudevlei Road many times over, but then, that would service the less privileged in Vryground. Now they want to install robots at the new development in Cannon Island Way. What happened to benefiting both the man in the mansion and the man in the shack simultaneously?

When will the owner of these goats get penalized and warned on the hazards these animals pose-grazing along Prince George Drive? Must somebody be killed first? Will it be alleged that the ward councillor was not aware of the problem!?

Will the southern suburbs go the same way as the Cape Town center as shown in above picture?

Now as is the norm, councillors/ politicians, when allegedly accused of fractionated management skills, immediately go into denial, followed by saying a committee has been elected to investigate.

Even Marina Da Gama has followed by example and formed a committee to investigate the security problems, allegedly with a large support base(which has not been consulted)

A simple vote by all residents of Marina Da Gama will solve this problem, but that will not happen since those that don’t belong to the Marina Da Gama Association or pay their subs have no rights. When will they realize we live in a democratic country with freedom of choice?

As for the the elected ward councillor it is the voters right to know if you bring value for money since we put you there and pay your salary. Please take this into account and answer my questions.
