Dark streets in Mnandi finally see the light
A long-anticipated streetlight installation project is officially underway in Ward 48, bringing renewed hope for safety and improved infrastructure to residents of Mnandi. According to DA councillor Themba Fosi, this marks a significant milestone in a broader plan spearheaded by the DA during its leadership of the metro. Streetlights will first be installed along Lochner and Tulip roads, as well as Constantia Avenue, in a move that has been widely welcomed by residents. Residents have long called for better lighting to combat crime and improve visibility at night. This development comes after extensive engagements between Fosi and local community leader Gary Watkins, who highlighted ongoing safety concerns due to poorly lit streets. 'We heard the calls from residents and made it a priority to respond, despite the tight budgetary environment. When we were still leading the city, we initiated a phased rollout plan that would begin with arterial roads to ensure that the greatest number of people benefited,' said Fosi. While he welcomed the progress, he expressed concern over the city's recent trajectory under the current administration. 'I feel we are regressing a bit with service delivery under the new coalition government,' Fosi said. 'All the wins we had last year have not continued. The sporadic theft of cables has prevailed, the grass has not been cut, and broken infrastructure causing outages are now taking longer to repair. But I will continue to fight for residents. I will continue to push the administration to do good, taking into account that Region 4 is a revenue spinner in the city.' Do you have more information about the story?

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Brentford - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts on Thursday's Premier League game between Nottingham Forest and are some of your comments:Nottingham Forest fans:Fosi: Yet another abysmal performance. No fight, no passion and no idea. Is our season over?Freddy: Huge disappointment at the result. I'd hoped that bowing out of the FA Cup would galvanise the players, but the opposite seems to have happened. They looked tired and devoid of ideas. I just hope an easier run of games will get us over the line - Chelsea last game of the season seems huge now. Ken: It's over I'm afraid. Those players are exhausted and have no more to give. It was like watching us two seasons ago. The very thing that has been our rock - defence - is falling apart at exactly the wrong time. Our failure to sign one or two strikers has well and truly scuppered We're on a bad run at at a bad time. I don't care one way or the other about Europe, except that we've got some players I wouldn't want to lose to clubs who get there. We're good enough to put this right but we're running out of fans:Mel: Dare we dream about Europe? Yet another top performance against a top six team. Incredible team spirit and winning mentality continues to deliver exceptional performances. Our run in looks favourable when compared to others, and a result against Manchester United keeps a European dream alive. Tim: The Bees showing their teeth and battling for the points was a pleasant surprise. Michael Kayode blunted Forest's game plan by matching them for pace. Great to see Kevin Schade poke that ball home, the guy needs a bit of confidence to bring out his Brentford controlled the game and executed their chances with confidence and precision. The travelling fans must have been planning their European tour on the way home. Another masterclass from Thomas We are making a last minute surge for Europe. We couldn't do it could we? Don't stop believing!
