Why is there no policing of speeding taxis, asks a reader
Road safety
Where are the metro police in the mornings? Inside the yellow line has been used as a racing taxi lane on the M4 from Blue Lagoon to the Mt Edgecombe turn-off every morning this week and no police are to be found. Are they too scared of the taxi drivers or are they having breakfast? Why do they not do their job?
Municipality

State entities were initially mooted by legislation to advance development in an effective and efficient manner. However the concept is being abused. Entities are created by most national and provincial government departments to perpetuate corruption. They duplicate the work of the departments and only serve to create employment for ANC deployees and award tenders to their buddies. In Durban we have a film commission created by a provincial government department and then eThekwini has its own film office. Both serve to sell punishment for associating with betting organisations. So what do you do when your main sponsor is a sports betting company? Hollywood Bets Dolphins.
Telkom
Telkom fibre optic cable installations are more of an inconvenience than a pleasure.

There are damages to sectional title complexes and apartments, from malfunctioning gates to untidy stone patching as well as uneven tar resurfacing. Will this be attended to and restored?
