THE BLUFF ENTRANCE - WEEK 9
The Bluff Entrance is a very important
area to keep clean and well maintained
but for some reason eThekwini cannot
achieve this simple task. BET will clean
up this area and protest the new Rates
in view of eThekwini's inability to
deliver adequate services to maintain
our suburb. Look at the list of basic
items given to eThekwini by Duncan
Du Bois 14 November 2007
http://www.durban-africa.com/ward66S
DBABM-1.html The bottom line is that
there is too much fraud, corruption,
incompetence & lack of ability to do the
job for eThekwini to be handed more
of money to waste!
The burning issue of non-delivery of
services for which we are paying is
(conveniently) not addressed in the
“Residential Objection” form above. In other
words the value of your property is the sole
criteria which determines your rates payable
to a fast collapsing bureaucratic empire.
This empire driven by a fellow named
Sutcliff on behalf of his masters, the ANC, is
simply a medium through which our hard-
earned money is redistributed to the
surrounding areas wherein the ANC support
base resides. (And which contributes only a
tiny amount to the Empire). Remember the
RDP policy? Well it’s alive and well and
thriving in the Municipality of Bulls Balls.

The Bluff Enviro Team (BET) invites you to
join our new “CLEAN UP YOUR ACT”
campaign for the Bluff. As a BET member you

wide among the Bluff Community and get

BET is simply appealing to residents,
businesses and property owners to clean
and maintain the area around you.

If we all make an effort to clean up the area
around our homes, business, school or
church it will have a huge impact on the Bluff
Environment.

Rates & the BUDGET
Bluff Rd CALTEX Filling Station
It's time we stopped being debating society
democrats and recognised that unless we
call a halt to the systematic decline and
disintegration of Durban as a result of a
socialist agenda that deliberately ignores
and neglects the basic issues in our wards,
we can forget about the next election. Our
voters - and maybe even some of us - will
have emigrated through despair.

It's not just a question of opposing the
Budget. It's a matter of EXPOSING the
budget, from the sham public participation
through to the deliberate neglect of councillor
input to the fact that the way it is structured
we are planning our own infrastrutural
demise.

Every indication every day in the media
shows that SA is haemorrhaging to death
through incompetence, greed, corruption and
sheer lack of governance:  Eskom, water,
agriculture, rates, wildlife, roads, crime,
health, education, universities,
municipalities, the police, the courts, the
prospect of Zuma. Our appointment with the
bar of history is now. If we don't confront  this
Budget in an extraordinary way and the
shambles that the new rating system is, then
we will have hastened our own demise -
politically  and in every other way. The issues
ratepayers are loudly decrying must be
heeded. Nothing else matters more than the
message that is coming from them.
Residents around the Bluff Rd Caltex Filling
Station are angry at the eviromental damage
being caused by container trucks now
refueling at the Caltex in a residential area.
The safety of school children at Malborough
Park Scool is also in danger as container
trucks speed past and ignore the traffic lights
at the pedestrian crossing.
Research is under way with regard to
Licenses and legal matters but residents will
soon be mobilised to protest action.

Watch this space for details and encourage
residents in the area to register wit BET to be
kept informed of the progress on stopping
this environmental degradation.
