Because you ANC and EFF people are STEALING everybodies money. This is madness. How can the citizens pay for stolen cables? We refuse to pay for stolen cables. Get your act together

Chris Jackson (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

Power cables are on the sidewalk which is municipal property. It is not private person's responsibility to pay for maintenance and fixing of municipal property to provide basic services.

I am signing this petition because it is not the residents responsibility to pay for cables that are being stolen by criminals because there is not enough work.

Incompetence

Natassia Stofberg (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#47

It is absurd to expect a resident to pay for damages caused by criminals to municipal property! I am a law-abiding citizen, and I pay my municipal account, levies, rates & taxes!

Monica Ford (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#49

The pavement is not part of my property. That belongs to the municipality and the electricity pole belongs to them. Any damage is for their acc not mine

Robert Stroh (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

I'm signing this petition because it's not our fault that the cables are being stolen and the criminals are not being brought to justice.

Hannest Koegelenberg (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#56

I am not in agreement with this decision as this is municipality grounds and they should take responsibility for this by closing all scrap and metal retailers and this will stop.

Susan Pretorius (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

The City must ensure and enhance security on cable theft.

Katiso Rantlha (Gauteng, 2023-10-23)

#61

The municipality have facilitated the continued theft of cables by not fixing our street lights . It’s unethical to expect the residents to pay for something the municipality is enabling..

Bernita Swartz (Dunnottar, 2023-10-23)

#67

I'm signing because I'm not going to pay for service cable which is on streetlamp posts. Outside my yard it is not my responsibility or even across the road. Where my boundary wall is towards the inside is my responsibility.

Collin Cary-Smith (Nigel , 2023-10-23)

#68

I pay rates and taxes. All muncipalities are over staffed in the actual offices and are grossly overpaid. Accounts are never updated correctly. If there is an incorrect billing you have to pay FIRST maybe you are lucky that they look at your account. All government employees are grossly overpayed and that's why we have NO SERVICE DELIVERIES!!!!!! TIME TO VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2024!!!!!!!

Ann Langeveld (Ekurhuleni , 2023-10-23)

#69

I will not pay for something that is the municipality's responsibility, i pay my rates and taxes every month.

Christopher Mans (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

You cannot be held responsible if cables are stolen.

Ferdinand Robbertse (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#84

This is ridiculous. Not my property, municipality property. I honestly can't sit in my window or loose sleep by watching street or lamp poles to make sure municipality property is safe.

Rene Baxter (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#85

Do not agree that we have to pay.

M.Benadie

Mark Benadie (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#95

This new unilateral decision made by local government is ridiculous. We the residents should NOT be held accountable for thieves. Why are the authorities virtually bankrupt? I vote that who ever unilaterally instituted this idotic rule pay instead of the residents.

Alan Madden (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#97

It is unfair to ask people to pay for things if they weren't the ones tampering with it or damaging it. Nor is it our property it is the municipality property.

Louisa Herbst (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#98

I am signing because why must we pay for stolen cables , we don't tell them to steal the cables. We pay for our taxes for this

Marc Kelly (Nigel , 2023-10-23)

#100

I am a tax payer who pays way more than enough. Bring back the death penalty and get rid of the thugs. I refuse to pay. We can not even fill potholes or sink holes at our own costs but we have to pay for criminals who steal cables. BS!!!!

Marisa Coetzer (Dunnottar , 2023-10-23)

#101

Residents should not have to pay to replace stolen cables outside their own property lines. Do you think residents are going to leave policing to the police if they have to replace cabling on pavements and electricity poles out of their own pockets? These thefts takes out entire blocks. How will the municipality assign these costs? The municipality is intending to hold the provision of power hostage.

Marlese Meyer (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#104

I feel is unfair ,with the rate of unemployment ,the government of the day should take responsibility and accountability of the amount of theft happening in our country

Aileen Mathobisa (Gauteng , 2023-10-23)

#105

I am paying rates and taxes, why should I pay additional costs for services that was iterrupted by Criminals, that is what rates and taxes are for.

Marie Abraham (Dunnottar, 2023-10-23)

#111

The sidewalk is the municipality's responsibility, it's unfair to put the cost on us.

Mary Aspin (Dunnottar , 2023-10-23)

#115

There is no way that I will pay for this nonsense, this is bullshit...

Marius Oberholzer (Ohrigstad , 2023-10-23)

#118

Because it's completely ludicrous to be held responsible for somebody else's property.
I am paying my taxes and therefore expect the SAPS do do their job and bring justice to cable thieves.

Rikus Maritz (Brakpan , 2023-10-23)

#119

I am fedup of paying and paying for nothing. Disgrace of a municipality

Rene Maree (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

Hoe kan mens betaal vir kabels wat gesteel word met ander woorde crime pays en waarvoor betaal ons blasting en tax op goedere dit is onregverdig en klink meer vir my na nog n korupsie n maklike manier om geld te maak en mense nog verder in armmoede te dompel

Adriana Du Plessis (Dunnottar , 2023-10-23)

#131

Ridiculous!

Marie Jansen van Vuuren (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

We, the undersigned ratepayers/ homeowners/ residents of Ward 88, Nigel, hereby request the current HOD for Water, Sanitation and Energy, Mr. Tshilidzi Thenga, to reverse/ reconsider this decision with immediate effect, and for the City to consider increasing police visibility around cable hotspot areas to prevent cable theft.

Shamendra Gangaram (Nigel , 2023-10-23)

#141

That cable is the property of the municipality and installed on their poles, why should we have to pay for it? Get the police to put down their KFC and get out of the office and do their job and drive patrols. Like was the case BEFORE the ANC destroyed the country!

Ettienne Lombard (Nigel , 2023-10-23)

#150

I'm signing because electricity supply and infra structure is part and parcel of the Ekurhuleni Municipality. Any damage or theft to any part of the structure, is the responsibility of the municipality. SAPS should be eligible to arrest the perpetrators and the Law should follow the law. We as the public should not be forced to cover the asses of the criminals.

Diana-Marie Lombard (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#151

Because residents can not be held accountable for cable theft outside of there control

Darren Thomas (Dunnotter , 2023-10-23)

#155

Cable theft is a huge problem in Nigel. I can't be held accountable for these incidents.

Chene De Jesus (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#158

I feel its not fair that the infrastructure should be paid by the consumer if we pay rates and taxes

Colez Grobler (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#160

We can't reliable for the criminals deeds and our saps are not doing enough to be visible at our area

Ndou Godfrey (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#166

I'm signing this petition because it's not residents fault for the theft of cables.

Legare Nchabeleng (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#167

It stays the responsibility of the Municipality to maintain the town and to ensure that we stay in a safe environment. The public cannot be held responsible for theft of electricity cables.

Chanante Burness (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#170

I will not pay for this

Rina Marais (Nigel, 2023-10-23)

#171

Electricity infrastructure belongs to the municipality and consumers should not be liable for what does not belong to them.

Elaine Goodchild (Nigel , 2023-10-23)

#177

I'm signing because I want the reversal of cable theft charges that are to be paid by the community members

Busisiwe Zulu (Dunnottar , 2023-10-24)

#178

We must not be legible for cable theft

Gaositwe Makitla (Jhb, 2023-10-24)

#187

Not paying for stolen cables

Yolande Koekemoer (Nigel, 2023-10-24)

#191

I feel it is really ridiculous to expect home owners to pay for damage caused to electrical cables by thieves. The cables on the pavement as well as the pavements belongs to the municipality and it is their duty to upkeep these cables. Pensioners are already struggling to pay municipal accounts and provide food for themselves how can they be expected to pay extra for damages caused by thugs

Lenie Gleave (Nigel, 2023-10-24)

#197

Because why must we pay if criminals steal the wiring due to loadshedding


How does this even make sense

Paula Brits (Nigel, 2023-10-24)

#198

Why should we pay for criminals steeling the cables. We pay enough tax!!!

Charlene Bryce (Nigel, 2023-10-24)

#200

Why must I pay for stolen cable as it is on the side walk. It is not on my property but on the ekurhuleni's.

Julia Van Niekerk (Nigel ext 2, 2023-10-24)
