Is this the same change you want to see in Benoni?

The Facebook post received about 50 comments.

Here are some of the comments:

• Maria Muller: Clear the streets of drug dealers.

• Anthony France: A four-way stop on the corner of Fourth Street and 11th Avenue in Northmead.

• Cheryl Potgieter: Paint all pedestrian crossings so that they can be seen – especially at schools.

• Wendy Lewis: A clean Benoni with law enforcement because the CBD is disgusting and the taxi drivers are lawless.

• Henry Vorster: I think a circle needs to go up by the Farrarmere Square entrance.

• Gillian Goodchild-Brown: A traffic circle at the entrance of Northmead Square, covered parking and removal of that ridiculous island that has caused too many minor accidents.

• Louella Humphrey: I would like the city to fix up the town hall. It has been left unmaintained for years.

• Saloshnee Reddy: Speed bumps on Princess and Ampthill avenues because the stretch from Kimbolton to Harrison streets have huge potential for a freak accident.

• Tony De Villiers: Would be nice if there could be safe and reliable municipal transport in and around Boksburg and Benoni.

• Nellie Van Rensburg: I would like to see all departments deal with complaints that have been received by phone at the call centre.

• Elzette Saaiman: Besides a total, permanent, irrevocable ban of fireworks, a complete redo and widening of the plot roads would be an awesome blessing.

• Monique Naude: Clean up that mess of a town, it used to be the jewel of the East Rand.

• Cheryl Bailey: Speed bumps on Vlei Road please; already one accident their last year where a kid lost his/her life and it won’t stop.

• Tania De Kroon Burdett: Benoni Northerns Swimming Pool toilets/bathrooms need a serious clean and fix up.

Also, ban fireworks.

• Bridgie Thysse: Upgrade of toilets at Homestead Dam.

• Gail Morrison: Re-paint the municipal swimming pool walls; ban all fireworks; keep the Ekurhuleni and SASSA offices clean and ban all beggars.

• Michelle Mich Andrews: If we can also include God in our town and have a prayer group for Benoni, changes will happen.

• Michele Klemp: Proper law enforcement, including visible policing, to enforce by-laws and all the country’s laws.

• Wanda Gray: Strict laws imposed and stiff fines for those letting off and selling firecrackers.
