Marianne Nel, chairperson of the Vorna Valley Residents Association (VVRA) spoke about the challenges faced by the community this year.
“We have been through some tough times this past year, with more infrastructure problems than we would have liked,” she said. “But due to no upgrades being done to our infrastructure, and more
new developments being approved, the residents are saddled with issues such as traffic jams, burst water pipes, power outages, potholes, blocked waterways and many more.”
Nel promised that the association would fight to improve conditions in the area nex year.
“The VVRA together with surrounding suburbs in Midrand are going to stand up against new developments being approved without infrastructure upgrades. We are tired of the mismanagement of our suburbs, corruption and underhanded deals. It is time [city] council looked at what is good for our residents and not at what is good for their coffers.”
Nel also took the opportunity to wish each and everyone a wonderful holiday season and safe travelling on behalf of the association.
“Thank you to all our sponsors for supporting us during 2016. Stay safe and come back refreshed in 2017.”
