Cllr Bradley Singh Assist Residents off Lenham Drive to Receive Electricity after Two days.

Minority Front Ward Councillor, Bradley Singh managed to get the electricity back up and running as soon as he was notified of the situation after a major explosion to the electricity box, which was blackened to the core, outside Mr Govenders Lenham home, caused a blackout from Sunday, 21 August 2011 until Tuesday, 23 August 2011.

It is believed and alleged that a massive cable fault has caused the box to explode. Govender claimed that he had notified the respective authorities of the problem but received no responsive help.

"I had called in the Municipality as soon as the explosion happened. I received no help. Due to my electricity being off for three days, all my food in my fridge and freezer has gone mouldy. We are suppose to be receiving help as soon as a problem is reported. I had finally called in Councillor Bradley Singh as he is our Ward Councillor and thanks to him my electricity was restored the very same day", said Govender.

The electricity was finally restored after the intervention of Councillor Singh.

Councillor Singh said that "nobody should be without electricity for such a long period as this has become an important human necessity. I made the necessary arrangements and had the electricity restored, I even went the extra mile and met with the contractors on site and would like to place on record the staff which ensured that the community receives this essential need,however due to the strike action there was a delay and if residents contacted me sooner the problem would have been sorted earlier". said cllr Bradley Singh.

Mrs Naidoo shows Ward 52 cllr Bradley Singh the water standing on verge.

Ever since the contractors dug the verges of the road to lay cables on Cardham Drive, the uneven ground is now causing water on a rainy day to stand and collect and flow down in to the path of the residents homes causing damages to properties.

Lilly Naidoo a resident has now become fed up with calling the contractors to sort out the water overflow and has called in Ward 52 Councillor Bradley Singh to step in.

"I called the construction company but nobody did anything about it. I am a sickly woman and I am very afraid for my health now", said Naidoo.

Naidoo complained that she has plating in her legs and that her doctor has warned her that she could lose her life if she falls one more time.

"I have plating in my legs and I am scared to walk outside in the rain. Also on Saturday, 13 August, I had a big prayer and the water was rushing down my pathway into my house and causing all sorts of problems", Naidoo said.

Councillor Bradley Singh has reported that he will be getting the Roads Department to get involved to sort out this matter.

"I have contacted the roads department to sort out this issue. We will find a solution to this matter. We also need to take into consideration that shoddy workmen ship causes a major disturbance for others who are left to sort out problems they had no hand in, in the first place,the roads department has been informed to back fill the verge outside Mrs Naidoo house as soon as the strike is over this will be done" Councillor Bradley Singh said.

Revamping of Pavements on Northcroft Drive.

Caption: Minority Front Ward 52 Councillor with Construction workers.

Minority Front Councillor Ward 52, Bradley Singh motivated for the revamping of sidewalks in Northcroft which is currently under construction after reports from Mr D Munsamy, a resident, of its poor condition.

The pavements were badly damaged and cracked, which then brought about the complaint.

Councillor Bradley Singh took the initiative to cater for the requirements of the community and commenced on the project.

"I had motivated the idea because of the unsightly state of the pavements. We have already revamped the pavements in nedlen and lenham. I would just like to thank Mr Munsamy for his concerns and notifying me about this problem", said Cllr Bradley Singh.

Cllr Bradley Singh also commented on the new construction of pavements, for Shawbrook which he has said the budget has been set and will start very soon. Also a complete revamp of Cardham drive is also in the plans as the roads "are pathetic and can be hazardous to vehicles".

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor

 

In times of economic hardship where the poorest amongst us bare an even bigger brunt,I as a Councillor would like to inform the public about how they can go about being proactive in a bid to save water and minimize costs. At the same time consumers can be reimbursed for water loss owing to the claims policy in place.
People need to check their bills on a monthly basis and compare the amounts reflected in consecutive months. Should you see a sudden hike in charges,immediately contact a plumber to test for a water leaks. This is a simple process which can be done by closing all taps and taking a meter reading. If you notice a difference in your meter reading after 3 hours then this proves that there is a leak. A contributing factor to this is the old infrastructure that we have.
Consumers who do experience problems with leakage need to fill out a water loss insurance form and hand this in to the municipality. Consumers who do not pay the monthly insurance charge of around R6 will have to pay the full cost of their bills.
According to policy,consumers will be covered for the additional costs based on their average daily consumption. The policy states as follows " that only your last two months reading will be taken into account when paying for your claim and you will only be paid for the water lost within the leak period".
 The water loss insurance company does not pay your Sewage Disposal charge.You will have to contact the water department to have this charge removed from your account and ensure that they credit you with the VAT which the Municipality charges you. According to the Insurance company majority off the Customers in Ethekwini Municipality who claim for water loss insurance claim too late as the customers are not informed and do not understand the policy. The next time you  pay your water account, request a Policy document for water loss (which is only one page). The policy states that they will only pay out "as per wording in the policy".To ensure that you understand how this policy works,make certain that you have a copy of it so that if you have a water leak, you can claim for the water loss and not be left with a huge bill to pay.It is the same Municipality that will not even think twice to disconnect your electricity and restrict your water.

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor

The Minister Of Sports, Fikile Mbalula must pay close attention to what logic has emerged since the world cup. While its great to have international events, the euphoria only lasts as long as the cameras are on you.
We as a country are certainly still recovering from the financial baggage from last years world cup and we should not be thinking of holding another international events of such a magnitude any time soon.

It is completely ludicrous the International olympic committee executive member and Sascoc executive Sam Ramasamy said on east coast radio" he would motivate for Durban to be the host".
I only hope that when the Minister said "All doors are still open" this was just a comment that was made to make the minister say something as he had nothing to say so he got his lime light. Durban cannot host any games as just over a year ago the world Cup has passed. On The Durban skyline we have a big white elephant sitting in our city which costs R250 000 to hire and due to the Moses Mabhida Stadium running a loss the Rate payers off Ethekwini Municipality is paying for this blunder about 100 million rand a year. The ICC holds all these beautiful and glamorous functions but the ICC also is running a loss and needs to be bailed out by the city.
The people of Durban did not benefit from the World Cup in any way that will effect the present or future generations.

So Minister take the advise from your Comrades and don't make the people off Durban pay for yours and Sam Ramasamy ego what we need is for the housing backlog and the unemployment to be tackled.
That is what government should be addressing and focusing on. If the same effort, collaboration and mass action that was put into the World Cup could be put into those then we will be on the right track.

National Government quashed the idea by announcing that it would not support an Olympic bid, preferring instead to concentrate on "the delivery of basic services to all South Africans".

So let's built a nation and watch the Olympic games on SABC in 2020 and 2024 than the rate payer off Ethekwini Municipality paying for the games after its gone.

Dear Editor

In an aim to address the plight of the many community members who still have not been receiving the adequate services which they deserve,we are now going to embark on a new venture which starts in ward 52.This venture forms part of the War on Poverty Campaign(WOPC) and aims to reach more people in a short space of time eradicating delays in service delivery. Although government departments have many anti poverty programmes,there have been no evaluation measures implemented to assess the effectiveness or success of these programmes. The approach which will be taken is to profile community members and households in order to determine which services people are in desperate need of and have not been receiving. The relevant agents will then be notified in order to evaluate these needs before they are adequately addressed. In order to ensure a smooth sailing campaign,stake holders such as local municipal representatives like myself,religious leaders and social formations (to name a few)will be part of the body liaising with community members to address their needs. Door to door visits will be made to  members of the community which will  be beneficial to those who cannot leave their homes due to ill health or those who cannot even afford public transport. I would like to request that community members of ward 52,  interact with these stake holders and cadres as this will in turn ensure that your needs  will be considered/fulfilled. As the Ward Councillor for ward 52 I urge all of you to take full advantage of this opportunity to voice your concerns. Those members of the community who wish to come forth to discuss their needs with me are welcome to do so.

Letter off Appreciation

During the past year I have paid numerous visits to the Grant offices trying to prove my disability to the members of Home Affairs in order for them to approve of my disability grant that was terminated since January this year even after I submitted medical reports stating my illness and the medication I was being given.

I've spent many days sitting at the Grant office in vain as all I was told was that 'they would look into the matter'. My bills were in arrears and I was finding it rather difficult to make ends meet. I finally reached a point where I lost hope.

One month ago I visited the MF offices in Phoenix after giving it a lot of thought and I was told to speak to Councillor Bradley Singh. I explained my problem to Councillor Singh who was very helpful.

A few days ago I received a call from the Grant office telling me that they have managed to sort out my grant and that I should be receiving payment within a few weeks.

I cannot explain how grateful I am to Councillor Singh for his help. He surely does stand out amongst the rest as many will speak but very few can deliver, and ever since he has been elected he has been doing nothing but delivering what he promises.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Councillor Singh.

Mrs D Naicker

Esselen

Minority Front Visit Whetstone Clinic

Caption: Seen in the picture are MPP Mrs. Rajbansi, Cllr Bradley Singh, Assistant Matron Mrs. Lindiwe Lakha and other nursing staff.
Mrs. Rajbansi who sits of the Heath Portfolio Committee was accompanied by Cllr Bradley Singh of ward 52 to a general meeting with Senior management at the unit 10 clinic. Mrs. Rajbansi expressed appreciation to the management staff in view of the large numbers of out patients seen daily at the clinic.
The ward 52 and surrounding community can expect far wider services after infrastructure upgrades commence by September. The ARV clinic which is presently housed in the former hall will be expanded, a new administration block will be built and the pharmacy will be relocated.
Various challenges were discussed which Mrs. Rajbansi will take up in the Health Portfolio Committee and with other departments. Cllr Bradley Singh will assist community members at a senior citizen level to co-ordinate clinic activities such as the collection of chronic medicines as well as involvement in an outside garden project, said Mrs. Rajbansi.
For any other input into service provision by the clinic Mrs. Rajbansi said that the community is welcome contact the local MF office on 031 500 7580.
