Some Important Information From Comments

Error / Problem:
1.I have completed the registration form, created a username & password, comes up invalid username (or ) password. Finally contacted the call centre and requested my last two accounts which I have not received (for the record my accounts are received inconsistently). Person confirmed that the accounts have been emailed to me. Still waiting. Absolutely disgusting service.

2. I have a problem with the wall that is falling due to heavy rains. We have been to 4 municipal offices but we are not getting assistance from the inspectors. The problem is that, there is a sewerage pipe on that wall and it is not a good site to look at since its in front of the kitchen. We tried to request retaining wall (or) the pipe to be moved they told us they do not interfere because it is our property. Our question is the pipe is not ours, it the municipality property and its disturbing us. We cannot retain because we are not sure how deep it is just in case when they dig the wall and its bursts whose problem will that be, we are staying in Umlazi we don’t know what else to do?

3. We share a common metro services bill, the account is in the name of my spouse, as this was done at time of creation by her. The monthly bill are debited to my bank account. I tried many times registering using either of our names, which failed as error. Finally attempts but rejected due to email already used. Why the hassles?
