FIX THE LEAKS, CURB WATER RESTRICTIONS RAIN or no rain, water cuts remain. Put your money where your mouth is. There has been a water leak in Brand Street/Boshoff Street for months. Must have been reported as the hole was covered with tar, but the leak was never repaired. There is now a tarred pothole and the leak remains! Hardly the residents’ fault that infrastructure cannot deliver. Realistic restrictions would suffice. DISGRUNTLED RATEPAYER

THE owners of a hotel in Humewood use a sprinkler at night and early morning to water their lawn for hours. Is it legal? CITIZEN

A MYBURGH, must the DA carry the blame for our water restrictions? ANC were in control for 22 years and what did they do regarding leaks? Now you expect miracles from the DA after four months. Get a life. MAC NQABA WAS ACTIVE IN STRUCTURES

WHO is this Andile Lungisa? Which primary schools did he attend in PE? Nqaba [Bhanga] was active in structures of Kwazakhele 1 during the early 1990s. Don’t compare yourself with Nqaba. You are very controversial. PORTIA

ENOUGH OF THE CHEATING IN CRICKET A LEOPARD doesn’t change its spots. Faf [du Plessis] is becoming a serial cheat. Suspend him. There is too much cheating in cricket. EX-FAF FAN PROTEAS’ ball tampering – surely a professional like Faf should know that he would be caught out?

JOHN ABBOTT QUICK SEARCH REVEALS MODUS OPERANDI CELEBRITY chef – when you announced him a few months ago, all it took was a quick internet search to show that this chap is a fraud. Same modus operandi all over the world. R75 for a boiled mielie! Really! GECKO SAYING OF THE YEAR I FEEL “state capture” of any kind in our country was the saying of the year. Any other suggestions?

GRAN RICHMOND HILL MEETING SHOULD BE OPEN RICHMOND Hill special rates area (SRA) annual general meeting (The Herald, November 21) is for every property owner in Richmond Hill to voice their opinion, select a new committee and view the annual audit reports for the year. Where does this SRA membership come from all of a sudden? A few weeks before the AGM and during the annual holidays. Is this another one of mayor Athol Trollip’s ideas? Looks like the SRA only belongs to a certain group; and what have they got to hide? If this AGM is not open to all those who pay their dues to NMBM, I will seek advice from the public protector, as there is no ombudsman in this situation, and demand all my monies back from the SRA . A MYBURGH, RICHMOND HILL STOP THE ROOSTER CROWING Mr S Rollo and his rooster refers. Mr Rollo is chair of that useless SRA. Please Mr Rollo, do your job.

SHAMBLES IN SA RUGBY BEFORE calling for getting rid of Allister Coetzee, I suggest you read Jake White’s book and see the unbelievable shambles that exists in the top structures of SA Rugby – especially no 46! JOHN SCOTT, HUMANSDORP

STRANGE thing, Allister Coetzee picking up all the flack. Why has architect-in-chief Fikile Mbalula not been mentioned? CURIOUS EVEN THE LEFT LOVED RONALD REAGAN DISILLUSIONED, you gave yourself away when you were critical of Ronald Reagan. Even the most left in the US admit that Reagan was an excellent president. You are clearly so left that you have left the country. TP WINDS OF CHANGE

TO the writer complaining about the unrelenting wind, we have the DA to blame for this, as the winds of change are blowing through PE. ALLEN

ROOT OUT CAUSE OF RACISM WHY is racism always meted out against black people? It is because black people are still regarded as inferior through the telescope of white supremacy. I find it very strange that at this point in time such incidents have never been addressed by the people who brought this influence to generations of generations. The government itself is clueless how to stop this practice by one group to another group. To me, the root cause of all this is based on inequalities in all spheres and walks of life. Therefore as long as black people still enjoy buttered crumbs after “democracy” and no economic gains achieved by them, even the by-laws to protect them from being humiliated by this white supremacy, such racist influence and practices will remain even in years to come. ZWELINZIMA MATYU ANY BENEFIT FROM WORLD CUP?

CAN anyone name ONE benefit we gained from that World Cup nonsense? RATEPAYER

REPLY TO READER’S COMMENT RE tennis commentators. For heaven’s sake, will someone tell Robbie Koenig to shut up while play is in action. Such bad manners to players and listeners to keep up this ceaseless prattle! SAGITTARIUS
