I JUST want to tell people of the Bay to boil their drinking water. Be sure not sorry.

FIRE or demote Marthie Nel. She is not worthy of her job description.

MARTHIE Nel should be fired but alas, nothing will be done.

WATER bug ignored. Typical of this incompetent government and municipality. Ignore everything until it becomes a crisis that they (the government) think will go away, eg electricity crisis.

THREE of the four of us had the stomach bug before Christmas. Two needed a doctor and medicine. Recovery was two to three weeks. We suspected it was the PE water.

IN DECEMBER I was unknowingly one of the victims of the shigella bacteria. Was advised to see my doctor after a few visits to Mount Road Pharmacy. Who can I sue? Please advise.

GLAD to see school rules being enforced. Let's hope the rules are not relaxed after they ran to the newspaper!

HOW did two people fit "in the tailgate of a car"?

IN BETHELSDORP four family members were shot dead – not a single arrest. Especially in the northern areas, there is no confidence in the police.

JACKSON Mthembu, we DO resent the government. Where have you been all these years? Asleep?

WHY spend millions on flying a supersonic jet every time they play a stupid soccer game?

WE ARE right behind you, Kym Surmon. Trees have to be protected. Where do we sign up?

TOTALLY agree with Kym Surmon re "Tree's untimely end". The same applies to people who buy next to leafy properties then constantly hack away at the smallest overhanging branch. Go and live in a desert!

THERE are a number of traffic lights that need attention. Does anyone monitor them? For example, La Roche-Strandfontein intersection: cars turning right hold up all the traffic at 7am. Needs a short right arrow first.

GUARDS at traffic department in Korsten causing havoc. Why can't authorities at least do something about it? Are the caravans in front on the pavements paying the municipality or are they squatting?

WHAT on earth are our universities doing trying to put the poor donkey out of work?

GWEDE Mantashe speaks of the ANC and SACP sharing trenches. Surely he means troughs.

I CANNOT believe we are paying more than R6000 a month in office rental for one councillor. Shame on you Fat Cats.

I JUST hope someone will come and save the youth of Wells Estate. There is no sport, the crime rate is high, the corrupt get richer every day. The soccer field is not in a good condition. Help!

I THINK people like Moses Nofeliti should stay in jail.

IT IS disgusting the way office staff at the South End fire department speak to people who report a fire. No wonder apartheid is still rife.

ISAAC Adams, you sound like a busy man. Not impressed.

LOUIS, being a ghost supporter of the Bucs might well put the Hamlet saga to bed, but like Macbeth we must still contend with Banquo's ghost.

PAT Kondile, I used to enjoy reading your letters but am shocked at your latest outburst.

UPON my query, RSG informed me that Orange is one of main sponsors of Afcon – a cellphone company with its foot in the door to Africa.
