How the community can contribute - SG 3

The community should become co-responsible for the state of the Swartland's infrastructure.

Citizens in the Swartland area have a responsibility to provide the correct information, to understand that there are various priorities requiring attention, to be reasonable and to trust that the Municipality has their interest at heart.

Residents can assist the Municipality in protecting the infrastructure e.g. by reporting vandalism, cable theft and illegal dumping.

Residents must be informed about the Municipality's services and communicate this information correctly to the other members of their community.

Do not assume that the information people or social media give you, is necessarily accurate; rather call the Municipality or check the municipal website and/or Facebook page  to make sure you have the correct facts.

The community can -

• provide valuable feedback to service providers, which can help them improve their services and identify areas for improvement; and

• engage in discussions with the Municipality , sharing their experiences and offering suggestions for improvement.

Overall, community involvement is critical to ensure quality and reliable services, as it provides valuable insights and feedback to the Municipality which can help to continuously improve their services.
