Iphi imali yomgwaqo lapho e Newcastle
It was this day at Blaaubosch (Mzamo sport ground) where you announce R10.4 million for Blaaubosch library And the project was due to start in September the same year (2019). But till today blaaubosch you failed us🚮🚮🚮.
That's 1 is like Fikile mbalula he likes fame,fuck him maan he must create jobs in Newcastle and internships,Mahlaba you are useless
We are taken for a ride here, we still asking how much was put aside in the budget for youth programs? No answer as always.
Y are the people of H39 not getting houses all of them like how other RDP houses are given to the other citizens? When are u going to deal with the corruption done in H39? People are suffering the houses of the poor are being sold to the working class, y are u mute on the issue of H39??
We need to call the same Etv to video the disgusting service delivery you pose as a Municipality in Fairleigh ward 25! People pay for service delivery yet live in municipal homes that are colapsing on top of them! People are living like Dogs under your rule u should be ashamed to call your self a Leader.
I wonder what informs the budget🤔 Is it peoples needs on the ground or what the municipality thinks people need or it is imposed by national govt or NEC? Oir needs as the community of Osizweni might not be the need in Madadeni & might not be the need in town... As Osizweni we need all other things to be put aside this 2021/ 2022 year & take the whole budget to upgrade water & roads infrastructure. Old water pipes are always bursting causing major water disruptions. As we speek we do not have water Osizweni & we are without water 90% of the time! The tarring of all dusty streets in Osizweni needs your urgent attention which will also take care of storm water drainage systems... The Osizweni disrupted sites application process needs your urgent attention Mr Mayor because taking it to the ward councillors is not a plausible solution! Please let the Osizweni govt offices continue with the process...
Cut salaries and clean your acts

Budget speech only but no good performance, no job opportunities, no water, no assistant to those who are very poor, all the time you find licking pipes even on the road, yhoo unesbindi ndoda sokuya etv kubheda emuva, amen
Not a single positive comment. It's time for change. VOTE ACTION SA FOR CHANGE
"You can fool some people sometimes but you can't fool all the people all time. They have now seen the light and going to stand for their rights. " Bob Marley. Keep your tee shirts and food parcel
What budget. Everytime residents ask for service delivery, 1 it's esclated to the next level, 2 they have no money. So where is this budget coming from. Why is there no transparency in the municipal Financials. Publish what amounts are going to be used where. Wake up Newcastle and take ur councillors to task.

NEWCASTLE KZN: Are play parks a thing of the past? | Northern Natal News
bit.ly
Would you rather have fewer parks which are better maintained and policed?How about you actually do your jobs properly, conduct proper maintenance, put up perimeter fencing, employ proper security guard and we could maybe protect our parks?or is that too much effort?
Newcastle Parks should be renewed to their former glory. Parks play a vital role in communities in the upbringing of children. Adequate conjusive parks are needed to assist curb the current social ills of our many surrounding communities are facing.
Newcastle Municipality is Trim Park,a Park though because wow wow 🚮🚮 nothing screams "I Am A Park" but i have to give it to you it's clean
Look for the previous Parks Manager. He got all the answers.
Yes parks must be maintained , the responsibility lies with municipality , parks form part of recreational centres for the public , however under the current global pandemic of corona , caution must be applied and restrictions be imposed for granting access
No, we need more green areas and play parks. The problem is, in the past, funds were looted via parks, giving little value for money to the Municipality and citizens. Please take care of the parks, maintain them and do not allow tenders for contacts to go out. Parks are important for the development of a healthy society on so many levels. Be transparent on costs and roleplayers involved in the project from the outset to avoid tenderpreneurship.
Newcastle Municipality you see the one in Ncandu Park not far from the councilor house should just close remove everything since its a spot for the youth to do drugs drink alcohol and is not child friendly at all rather make it a transport parking loot for children attending Hope High School with shelters or sell it
Newcastle municipality is like the Bollywood movies, too many acting positions. Makes one wonder who the main actor is. Who do we hold accountable. 🙄????
Please be specific if its Newcastle town or including the Bantu locations?🤪
All our parks are not commercial viable hence the Newcastle community doesn't see value in their sustainability. To:- The parks department/ Mayor/ Municipal manager I humble request to be given an opportunity to submit my proposal in an effort to ensure that all parks remain effective and continuously attract the Newcastle community to continuously visit the Newcastle parks.
i agree , but must use that open space to give a home to underprivellege people , so that they can have ashelter
It is so surprised after how long this parks has been niglected

What parks? Have you seen the state of what used to be parks?
Broken alcohol bottles, condoms, litter it is also safety and health and safety hazard.
Not called parks they are shitholes
Fernwood tht path way in ribbon nd other side of panorama drive they don't clean it don't even cut the grass ppl throw all their bin bags and it's not clean at all that place is so neglected municipal don't even com too clean oh anything
The park on the corner of Korhaan and Vink overgrowned. Years ago there was swings and slides. Broken bottles and cars driving in and out late at night. Not sure if it can be called a park anymore😢
I live across a park... Kemp street. Soccer fie ld is a taxi park place. Park side a taxi wash bay. Cars park half into park.. Drink.. Let all litter stay behind.. Disgrace ☝️☝️☝️☝️. You hardly see children play.... As things are broken..theft. Fence also gone!!!! 8years ago.... I was prou3to take my grandchild to this park.... Now She can't enjoy any park..... As Adults take over... I have even once.. Told a couple to go.. As having sex in the car by park😡🤦♀️. Seems some adults just don't know... A park is for a child!!!! Come see... 11h00 to 17h30.....each day... Weekend is drink time... Ugg.. Gat vol!!!!!!!!!!!!
Close parks time has changed.kids need computers more than parks.instead of parks give schools computers ,task books.and convert those places to streer vendors place of selling their staffs
this is unrelated but Ncandu doesn’t have water and the Municipality isn’t communicating with us as residents.
Anisiyek ngamapaky nisiqashe bakwethu sihleli emakhaya nama HR ethu sihleli emakhaya nama company siyafaka asitholi kwamamsebenzi ngisho o less than 5000 ninikana nodwa imsebenzi ...wadlen lawomapaky ningasibuz doti
With Mr. Vish Govender as Acting MM we surely can see positive action. Thank you Sir.
No. Why not clean up our neighborhoods instead. The ones we drive through every day. Do some mowing, clean up the islands, check street lights. Parks are just a waste of time because people don't have respect for other people's taxes.
Sadly this is prevalent in all municipalities in SA . Not only parks - our rivers are heavily polluted.
I lost the one I love some months back but through the help of King Bakili great powerful spell caster called he bring back to me he is committed to me now and now he gives me so much love and respect we are living happily ever since he came back to me..

Big no no I won't take my kids to any park cause it is way to dangerous
All our parks are not commercial viable hence the Newcastle community doesn't see value in their sustainability. To:- The parks department/ Mayor/ Municipal manager I humble request to be given an opportunity to submit my proposal in an effort to ensure that all parks remain effective and continuously attract the Newcastle community to continuously visit the Newcastle parks.
Who was in charge of parks and gardens ? Hold them accountable for the state it is in
Recreational areas will always be needed! However, they need to be taken care off & the community need to be involved. Such areas are good for outings, getting active and for overall wellness of a community if used properly
Views of rubbish, your municipality truck that supposed to collect dustbin they just come randomly, maskhipha udoti ngeFriday they come Sunday in consecutively, they we decide to use Sunday then qham thushu Friday unannounced and they don't even wait for you to keep out dustbin they just shay the truck strong,,, mara niyasnyela perhaps
Our current and previous municipal officials should be held accountable. Stop this nonsense of passing the buck or elevating it to the next level. The councillors and relevant municipal officials should get off their arse and do what the community is paying them to do, that is service delivery, not corruption and looting. Let's see what the outcome is of this grand adventure.
Also increase the police force to ensure a safer environment for all.
I would still like to visit the Fernwood Park with my kids...sadly however it has far be neglected and unattended too. It is shrouded with litter and a haven for criminal activities. Bylaws should in place to restore our parks...including our municipal swimming pools, most especially the one at Suryaville. These are income generating amenities and the pride of our town. They should be maintained.
So can I have time to visit parks while am still living like a pig section 7 Kwa R
Unrelated but many people are building and have build modern houses in Maskraal, when can we expect tar roads there? There is no development or Maskraal is not under Newcastle?
The silwer street park is a criminal hideout, with criminals hiding in trees to overlook homes to target
Talk talk talk ??? We demand action or we stop paying rates

Municipality Budget Speech 2021- English
Mr Mayor Housing for people with disabilities who are on indigent, who have long applied and are on the waiting list must be prioritised. I am a person with disability and have a letter from Mr. Shozi in 2011/12 promising me the next available municipal housing then. Till now with no joy. I have applied via Special Programme this year. Thank you

There is no water, so we don't care.
Cut your salaries as well
Every issue they have is escalated to the next level every year. No changes in residences lives. How does municipality have surpluses from budgets but service delivery is almost zero.
Solalela nomakanjani
Ngicela nikhiphe u ward 6 lapho. Ngoba anisenzeli lutho ngaphandle kokusehlisa nisenyusa njephenti likanonkiloyi during demarcation...
It is difficult living in Osizweni location. I grew up in Blaaubosch in the eighties & left in the nineties. I came back this year after 20yrs but Osizweni has deteriorated to be worse than Blaaubosch was in the eighties. There's a struggle for water, every other day there's no electricity, there are no job opportunities... The Post office SRD grant system is run by amaphara who swindle the unemployed & the destitute of this measly R350... We are still walking in muddy/ dusty roads... They've just erected high humps on roads that cars could get damaged... It is hard living in Newcastle if you are not rich.
I just wonder how often does the municipality review its Goals & objectives. So as to check if they are still inline with what they've wanted to achieve. Coz judging from what they say they deliver, its clearly an opposite of what they've promised us😐......

Our roads will have less vehicles on from say august?
Move the traffic from Iscor road to town it's a struggle to get there or make provisions for public transport
If I may ask.. what about the people who cannot leave work during the times that the people are explaining or rendering the services? Will we be informed when we renew our licences or when we get pulled over by traffic cops? I'm sure not everyone was aware that people are handing out pamphlets and explaining what's going to happen.
What is AARTO?
Did a poor job of it at Majuba mall, blocked traffic, no indication as to what is happening and threatening to arrest driver for asking the reason for blocking flow of traffic
