Let's all gather and take action for this water and electricity issues , enough is enough Mamelodi East section does not have a functioning municipality and they must not lie most of Tshwane Townships experience the same issues others are far worse like Soshanguve and Hamanskraal. This is not working anymore yet Cllrs and Municipality workers are getting paid everyday an we are suffering . People are campaigning to be the executive Mayors of Tshwane with no positive results for years , we are taken for a ride . Now we want solutions we don't want to hear about ageing infrastructure, illegal connections, tripping transformers , burst 15mm pipes the municipality list excuses is endless. If this problems have been known for years what has been done to address them ? Instead people are driving luxury cars and walking with bodyguards.
