I am aware that people vote for politicans by just seeing their photo's during local government election times and then never again do they see these politicians.
When service delivery is not met by the local government, people start complaining and ofcourse it's their rights, but what iam suggesting is get to know your politician and what their plans are for your ward.
Recently 5 yrs (Intergrated Development Plans) plans were discussed, New transport system and plans were discussed by the City and Residents of the city were invited. The turn out in the most of these arrears was poor, most of my friends and community members did not even have an intrest in further plans for the arrears and how it impacts their properties.
To get involved does not cost you much time, may be 1 day per month. please get involved and South Africa will not succeed if all of it's people don't work together.
NGO's/NPO's need some Volunteers,what supprises me more often is the high unemployerble, unskilled and uneducated individuals who are looking for work and at the moment they are not doing anything to help in their communities and in turn get skill and build up references.
Lastly if you are not involved in building the community you live in who must do it for you?
