   Stop promising people something for nothing.
   1. Create “Red Zones”
   2. Sell them title to the land they occupy. Charge R500-00 to register the plot.
   3. Tell people they can build their own houses.
   4. Allow people to install their own services. Municipality only provides “Block level” services. Charge for these.
   4. Protect peoples property from theft.

   Absolutely and completely commit to changing this country. Sell to voters a picture of where the government wants the country to be in, say, 10 years time.
   Then ensure that every government policy and every government action is aimed at ensuring that happens.
   Zero tolerance.

   1. Look at service delivery turn-around strategies and then look at the clock to see if it is time for tea and snacks.

   2. Engage all relevant role players and urge them to “come to the party”.

   3. Empower street committees to “improve service delivery”.

   4. Blame the pre-1994 dispensation, the Third Force, councils as per the 2006 local election Nomenklatura/list and “the global economic melt-down”.

   5. Gain and maintain control over service delivery protests through the underground structures of that alliance partner in which the minister of police and his deputy are also central committee members.

   Put as much effort and resources in ensuring quality services on time as has been put in building soccer stadiums and related amenities.

   Declare shacks a national eyesore not a tourist attraction.

   The government should pay attention to what the citizens are saying, and respond to their complaints and feedback. The presidency hotline (http://bit.ly/EyaJ5), which should be up and running later this year, will give South Africans the opportunity to voice their complaints directly to the President. This could definitely help the government improve their service delivery, if it is attended to properly. What do you think?
