Why sign this petition? This petition serves as an objection to the Festive lights street Bash from Concerned Polokwane Residents who are suffering from High Billings , Non-service delivery and experiencing water shortage . The street bash brings no value to the Polokwane residents as it is used as a cash cow for Municipal officials and some politicians who are leading municipality in order to fund their lavish lifestyles for festive season . Hence the same companies and service providers are being utilised annually. Therefore , taxpayers money cannot be used to fund lifestyles of Municipal officials and Politicians in a form of Festive lights Street bash

This petition further urges Polokwane Municipality to redirect its funds for Street Bash to provide sufficient temporary measures for water shortages in Polokwane and fixing of potholes, the Festive lights street bash will benefit the residents of Polokwane with nothing except to get to drink alcohol and go home for waterless taps .

For five years now the Municipality has been peddling lies about Seshego Water Plant which were lied to , that it will bring sufficient mega litres which will put a stop to water shedding but municipality keeps on shifting the blame of lack of water to Lepelle water board . A fact is that the residents are paying services to the Polokwane Municipality their services are oftenly cut for not paying therefore Polokwane Municipality must take full responsibility for shortage of water and stop the blaming game .
