Welldone DA. Now please fix the roads in ward 24. The quality of the roads/streets is horrific and keeps deteriorating every year, not too sure what the DA has been doing over the years in ward 24 concerning road infrastructure! Potholes are a nightmare in Cloverdene, Crystal Park and Orchards Road (Rynfield/Crystal Park). Thank you in advance!
It would really be nice if the Freedom Front Plus (VF+) could contest ward 24 and other wards in Benoni. They really stand a good chance of winning. The few wards governed by VF+ across the country are well maintained. Local governance there is on point! I would love to see VF+ along with DA, ANC and NFP on the ballot paper next time…just for variety.
I am very happy that Stefanie won but it would be nice if the actual percentages of the parties that contested are published.
Ward 24 – What is being done about potholes all alone EVANS Road, Benoni Small Farms… Stefanie what have you done since we voted you in.. How does one contact you..
