What is CommunitE

A civic-accountability platform, built by residents.

CommunitE is a mobile & web platform that lets residents log municipal faults, escalate them through the right channels, and track every issue to resolution — with a public accountability dashboard so nothing gets buried.

It brings residents, street captains, ward councillors and municipal staff around one shared, transparent record of what's broken, who's on it, and when it's fixed.

How it works

From complaint to closure, in three steps.

1 · Residents report

Log a fault in seconds — photo, location and category. No call centres, no lost reference numbers.

2 · CommunitE escalates

Each fault is routed to the ward councillor and municipality, tracked against its SLA, and chased until it moves.

3 · Resolved, transparently

Status updates flow back to residents and the public dashboard — keeping everyone accountable to the outcome.

For ward councillors

Every councillor, on the ground and in the loop.

Every councillor gets access to CommunitE to keep track of every fault in their ward — what's open, what's overdue, and what's been resolved — without chasing call-centre references.

An audited, automated workflow records every engagement between residents, the municipality and the councillor on the ground. Nothing is off the record, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Engagement stats bring visibility and transparency to the Office of the Ward Councillor — residents see their councillor working, and councillors have the evidence to show for it.

For municipalities & management

See how every department is faring.

One live view for municipal management: who is outperforming, who is not performing — by department, by service area, down to district level.

Because every fault carries its full engagement trail, managers can spot bottlenecks and investigate why — tracing a delay to the exact step, team or hand-off where it happens.

Not naming and shaming — bringing accountability within departments, with the same numbers residents and councillors see.
