President Zuma’s Tollfree Number
President Zuma’s long promised tollfree number will by all accounts be up and running tomorrow.
If you wish to shoot the breeze with the president’s people the tollfree number is 17737.
Apparently 43 people from various government departments have been tasked to follow up on our queries.
I somehow think they will need a few more hands on deck.
Anyway, its a start.
The presidency’s intention of listening to the people is a good one.
Hopefully they will not only listen, but perform too.

i would like to complain about suncity prison and it is about thei kitchen where they cook food for prisoners. the kitchen is so unhealthy its like dogs are staying there. i know that those people have to be purnished but not in that way. i think we have to do something as the govenment and the community, we have to help one another. i would like to see where they sleep and maybe we can do something as a govenment and the community as i have explained. they are also human beings and we must try and help them because some of them dont go there because they want but it is because of their background and we must also teach them life skills on how to avoid bad things when they come out and how must they create things for themselves in order to make a living but not by stealing or by kiling. we really need to help them and pray for them. they made mistakes like everyone else. my contact number is 079 232 7251 and my work telephone number is 011 614 0500 ext 209.

Dear Sir,
I live @ 1900 Sibuyile Str. Siluma View in Katlehong,Sir i have a situation here everytime it rains we have a sewerage blockage and i dont understand how the storm water get mixed with the sewerage system and start pushing and making some bubble noise from the drain out side my doorstep.to cut long story short,If i had my electricity supply cut for not paying i would undersand because it is my direct personal use,if i had water supply cut for not paying i would also understand.The point is i phoned EKURHULENI @ this number 0860 543 000 Ref # SR115470 this is just one of the Ref, numbers they always give when you complain i am told to pay my rates and that this matter has been handed over to their PLUMER to attend but when i asked for the Plumer’s Tel. so that i can speak to them direct, NO we’re not allowed to give the Plumer Tel.number.WHAT KIND OF SERVICE IS THIS?
Sewerage is not my direct and personal use Do we all have to engage in service delivery protest first before things get done?

Dear Mapaseka
The area I am mentioning beneath is from house number 1060 to 1068 block bb. You can contact Lesiba Seakamela at this number 0796960449 who works directly with the Councilor; he knows very well that this matter was mentioned to them since 2007 and before. I have given photos of that area to Lesiba so that the Councilor should write a motivation to the office of the mayor so that the matter of Apollo Light and unutilized area which have turned to be a dumping grassland should be solved.
Presently we are facing a new era of Garbage bins that are not collected and nobody says anything or informing us about the problems that the municipality of Soshanguve is facing.

Subject: Park in our area and Apollo light
Dear Mapaseka
Mapaseka we are requesting an Apollo light next to Prince Funeral Parlor and the erection of Park in the same area which is behind our houses. We are requesting these services because of the following unlawful activities that are taking place around the area.
1. Because of the darkness, residents are victims of criminal activities.
a. My neighbor was shot in the same area and died because of bullet poison.
b. My neighbor’s son was shot and killed in the same area.
c. I was robbed on gun point in the same area.
2. Mapaseka because of the uncontrolled bush around our area we experience unhealthy environment.
a. We kill snakes every day of our lives.
b. The place has turned to be a dumping place.
c. We experience lot of mosquitoes in the evenings.
d. Flies around the area disturb our activities in the kitchen.
e. Criminals always give problems by stealing.
Please help us, and we can be part of the process regarding this problem if the municipality needs our help. Darkness, Bushveld and Criminals are friend, and we are the victims.
Your response regarding this matter will be appreciated.

Honourable Mayor of Tshwane
RE: EXTREME DANGER FOR PEDESTRIANS- AT THE CORNER OF BURNETT AND HILDA STREETS- (ON THE LEFT HAND PAVEMENT).
I want to bring it to your attention that there is a very dangerous situation at the left hand corner of Burnett- and Hilda Street.
.
Motorists use the above mentioned pavement as parking space, thus blocking the pavement for pedestrians.
Pedestrians are forced to use Burnett Street’s left hand lane as a walk way.
This situation has been ongoing for at least a year. I experienced the same dangerous situation in January 2009, when I visited the Protea Bookshop to buy my academic books.
Today, I witnessed the narrow escape of a young female, as she was nearly hit by a fast moving taxi. Then and there, I decided something should be done to avoid a tragedy.
Suggestion: It may be possible to place concrete blocks (or something suitable) on the pavement to block cars from using it as a parking space.
I trust that you share my concern for the safety, of especially our students.
Please bring my e-mail under the attention of the person/persons that can be trusted to do something about this dangerous situation.
Kind Regards

Good Day Mr President
REQUEST FOR ELECTRICITY
I’m in Mthatha in the a place called Marhambeni Location, situated between Mandela Park & Ultra City in the Eastern Cape under councilor Sizwe Njemla which is Ward 14
Mr Prsident, we need your help in this place regarding electricity & streets. If you don’t mind you can visit us so that you can see what am I talking about.
As residents, we stand for ouselves to get electricity because we asked for our councelor to help us regarding the matter, unfortunately for us nothing comes up.We went all stages that could help us but we came back with empty hands.
Eskom & our Local Municiality which is K.S.D. knows about this matter as we went to their offices several times regarding this issue.To us now it seems like they are playing hide & seen while we are suffering on the other side.
We trust that our request falls into good hands now. Waiting to here your response very soon as we know that 2010 is full of good & exciting things.
Yours faithfully

We are rural family living in Ncera villages , Village Number -3 , Kidds Beach , East London Jurisdiction area. We are being victimised by Eskom since 2004 until March 2010. We are forced on a particular service type ( Conventional Type )of electricity that is far more expensive for rural people.We want to be converted to Pre – Paid meter type. We want to:
- avoid network charge ( R274.04 )
- avoid estimated readings on our consumption.
- buy electricity as we need it.
This oppression by Eskom has now been going on for many years. We now have enough. We cannot allow it to continue any more.
Please assist.

I thought that this is a free country for all ?But it seems that it is only for Juluis Malema to say what ever he want’s and get away with it.To sing songs that remind you of the past is no exuse for that hate speech towards the boere !! I’m a white man and if I raise the old SA flag to remind me of the past,then I’m a raccist.A week after he sings his silly songs in Limpopo,there were 6 “BOERE killed in that province.I think that Malema want’s war and not peace and if he goes on like that,that is what he’s gonna get.I have to raise my kids in this country where I was born,and will stand up and defend them with all that it’s going to take.
SOMEONE needs to stop that 29 Year old son,and the only one that can do it is YOU !!!!
We don’t want to take law in our ouwn hands,but we are not going to sit still for much longer anymore.

President i know this will not reach u but want to take out frustation and keep myself sane and hopeful as well as to avoid being suicidal. Why is it so much frustration looking for employment in SA when you have all the qualifications needed i.e degree, diplomas and persuing MBA as well as experience both in govt and private sector. I have come to a stage when looking at the careers section i just get sick(running stomach) and be hopeless.I was counting applications that i have submitted since December 2009 on govt positions and got to 67. Not even 1 department has at least aknowledged receipt let alone invited for an interview. One of the reasons i know for a fact, positions in govt when advertised already have people that are gioing to fill them, or applications are just destroyed, or you have to bribe or have connections to get one. This is really frustrating in South Africa. I have no jb at present and pray everyday that doesn’t come to a stage where banks will reposses the little i have worked for for my kids. Maybe its time one goes and look overseas.

this is really getting to my nerves. Is there a way of getting a response from Eskom & Joburg connect?
I have been sending emails & there is no response.
Our house always has electricity 4days in a week. We just moved to this house & the electricity is just not on. It is winter. We have to bath, eat & be warm.
Everytime electricity trips, we are the only house in our block not getting electricity when it returns. Could anyone look into this matter please. I want to be living from what i am paying for. Not to pay for electricity that i dont use. We buy food, they get spoilt in the fridge. Our electrical appliances are messed up, yet we always use electricity for only 45% of the time we are home.
Irate customer,
