  Read what they said (622 words)

  Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

  I like your hairstyle. You remind me in those days.

  That is my style, huh?

  You are marvelous.

  Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

  Madam Speaker, thank you very much, then I saw that the infrastructure has been allocated a more budget, Madam Speaker. I'll say thank you very much, Mayor, and the Deputy Mayor, because of this budget is going to address the issue of the leakage of water in our township.

  There's this um

  No.

  That is not my style.

  That is my style there.

  Thank you, can

  Councillor Mpolobosho, your time will go.

  Thank you for the compliment, but carry on.

  He's the Mayor.

  Thank you very much, Speaker.

  Yeah, and also this one, Madam Speaker, then we have the sewer blockage in our township. I think this budget is going to address this problem because of daily then this blockage of the sewers is damaging then our roads. I hope this budget is going to address that problems.

  And also I'm going to the City Power, Madam Speaker.

  As you know that we don't have street lights in our township, and I hope now then the City Power is going to roll out then the street lights, and I hope that we need quality street lights.

  I know there's a solar light and high mast light. We need a proper quality of those solar lights, and I hope that the City Power is going to roll out the proper solar light.

  Madam Speaker, I've identified two hotspots illegal connection in these two regions.

  It's Region E, which is Alex, Marlboro, and also it's Region A, which is Ward 80 in Rabie Ridge 4 and 5.

  There's a serious then illegal connection then, Madam Speaker.

  Then I hope that this budget is going to address this problem.

  That particular then ward, Madam Speaker, then they have 16 transformers that belong to City Power, Madam Speaker.

  Out of 16 transformers, only five which is working. The rest is not working.

  I hope this budget is going to address that problems.

  And also there is informal settlements surrounding that particular then area, Madam Speaker.

  I hope that from now on, then the Human Settlements and also then this department, they will make sure that that informal settlement, we are electrifying the whole informal settlement.

  And I saw then MMC Mabaso yesterday when there was celebration here, I didn't see him if he was jumping, but also then MMC Mabaso as well, I saw something in your department.

  You need to push that process so that we can speed up. Remember, K60 is an old informal settlement then, Madam Speaker.

  The time you think to make that style, it started from that time.

  You know, these are older, older informal settlements.

  So then I really then appeal then to two departments, and I want to just make then MMC aware that if then he doesn't pick up his socks,

  lento ndizoyithatha, ayingabungozi.

  2027, I'm going to take over your department.

  Madam Speaker, then the also then the JRA.

  I saw then the MMC of Transport was celebrating then yesterday.

  I hope that from now on next week then you'll start now to close those potholes which then we are having all over the region. We have a serious pothole then, Madam Speaker.

  And I've got an invoice in my car.

  My shocks is already damaged. My tire is already then damaged. I'm going to hand over then my invoice to the MMC of Transport.

  Then he must pay for me that one as well.

  Then Madam Speaker, then we as African Heart Congress, AHC, Madam Speaker, we support this budget with 100%. Thank you very much.

Spoke on
