To the 378 residents who stood with us: Your voices are officially impossible to ignore.

 

The Update: After we personally handed our mandate to Deputy Mayor Gary van Niekerk on Monday (see the signed receipt below!), things moved fast.

 

1. The Internal Directive: The Acting COO of the Metro has formally ordered his Directors to provide a plan of action for Ward 6 by close of business TODAY. 


 2. The Provincial Escalation:
Because we don’t just want promises, I have formally submitted our entire evidence pack to the Speaker of the Provincial Legislature in Bhisho and the Public Participation Committee. 

We have moved this from a local complaint to a provincial oversight matter. If the Metro doesn't deliver today, Bhisho will be watching.

 

Thank you for your support. If you haven't shared the link lately, please do—let’s show Bhisho our numbers are still growing!
