PETITION FOR PROVINCIAL INTERVENTION IN LERATONG VILLAGE SERVICE DELIVERY CRISIS

Leratong Village residents petition the Gauteng Provincial Government to urgently resolve the ongoing service delivery crisis caused by jurisdictional disputes between City of Johannesburg and Mogale City. The community lacks basic services including housing, electricity, water, refuse collection, and adequate policing. We request immediate provincial intervention to clarify land jurisdiction, compel service delivery, and restore our constitutional rights to dignity and basic services. Key Issues: 1. Land transfer and jurisdictional clarity between municipalities 2. Formal housing and RDP delivery 3. Electricity infrastructure and City Power connections 4. Water supply and Joburg Water services 5. Regular refuse collection and waste management 6. Enhanced SAPS and JMPD security presence Relief Sought: Provincial intervention under Section 139 of the Constitution, appointment of a task team to resolve jurisdictional disputes within 30 days, and immediate emergency service delivery while permanent solutions are implemented.
