MUNICIPALITY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SERVICE

Since 2015 we have been begging Ngwathe Municipality to put up boards at the river that no swimming is allowed (as many children has drowned here already) and also not allow drinking, drunks fighting with bottles cutting each other in front of our children and also naked people running around in front of our houses. From as early as 6o'clock in the morning churches sing, dance, hit drums, blow whistles and then the swimmers start, shouting and screaming...after them all the drunks. This sometimes stops only at 3 o'clock in the morning. Note that we paid very high prices for our houses in this area but do not have one day of peace. Further these people do not clean behind them. They leave the place in a mess and Monday mornings we clean their vomiting (yes they vomit right in front of our houses), papers, broken bottles, bags and all other trash! The municipality never clean up and expect from us to be happy to live like that. Further the police did tell them that boards need to be erected in order for them to then stop this behaviour. Till now we had a promise last year November that they appointed 2 ppl to look into this and they will immediately attend to the problem. That was the very last time we heard from them. NOTHING happened since then and the summer has just started and we nearly went off our heads today. Drunks were sitting in a circle singing on top of their voices...swimmers were screaming and shouting, others were camping on our pavements (it is a very dangerous corner to camp on) and others were changing clothes (totally naked) in front of our house. My question...we paid very high prices...our rates and taxes are very high and we have NO RIGHTS but people in a area which is not even a braai or swim area have all the rights. They can be drunk, harass us, throw their bottles in our yards, run around naked and it is all ok. We need to clean behind them and if we say anything we get sworn at. I WOULD NEVER SUGGEST PARYS TO ANY PERSON...do not invest any money in this town as day by day we see this town going down. This month I got a municipal account of R950000 and it is not the first time. We do our own municipal readings (the boxes is open for anyone) and our roads is full of pottholes. NO HELP from the municipality except attitude and promises. I took videos over a period to show them what we have to live with. All they do is ignore our request. Also note that I offered to pay for the boards myself - and even that is not enough to get them to do something about this mess.
