Online Petition against MDB Draft Proposal #rescuegamagara

Deur hierdie petisie te teken bevestig ek dat ek 'n inwoner van die Gamagara Munisipaliteit is, ons sê NEE vir die Munisipale Afbakenings Raad se voorstel soos gepubliseer op hul webwerf op 28 Maart 2025. Die inligting wat aan u verskaf is deur die Gamagara Munisipaliteit en hul tegniese span is polities gedrewe en weerspieël nie die belange van die breër gemeenskap van Gamagara nie. Die voorgestelde wyke is onbeheerbaar, geografies onsamehangend, en teenstrydig met die volgende kriteria van die Afbakenings Raad:

  • Die noodsaaklikheid om, sover moontlik, die fragmentasie van gemeenskappe te vermy.
  • Die doel van ‘n wykskomitee soos uiteengesit in Artikel 72(3), naamlik om deelnemende demokrasie in plaaslike regering te bevorder.

Ons dat die AfbakeningsRaad die aangehegte alternatiewe voorstel oorweeg, asook enige ander voorstelle wat daarmee strook, om Gamagara se wyke meer funksioneel en beheerbaar te maak. Dit sal verseker dat wyksraadslede dienslewering meer doeltreffend kan uitvoer, en dat gemeenskappe werklik betrokke kan wees in gesentraliseerde wyke met aktiewe, funksionele wykskomitees.

By signing this petition, I confirm I am a resident of the Gamagara Municipality, we say NO to the Municipal Demarcation Board’s proposal, as published on their website on 28 March 2025. The information provided by Gamagara Municipality and their technical team appears to be politically motivated and does not serve the broader interests of the Gamagara community. The proposed wards are unmanageable, geographically incoherent, and contradict key MDB criteria:

  • The need to avoid, as far as possible, the fragmentation of communities.
  • The objective of a ward committee, as set out in Section 72(3), is to enhance participatory democracy in local government.

We therefore call for the adoption of the attached alternative proposal, as well as any similar proposals, to make Gamagara’s wards more manageable and to ensure that ward councillors can deliver services effectively. This will also allow for genuine public participation through centralised wards and functional ward committees.
