There is an unwarranted increase in all consumer goods, not remotely connected to CPI. Corruption is robbing the consumer of basic rights and the consumer fits the bill for this theft!

Service delivery

Service delivery poor, some areas not paying and others are - not fair and equal.

Service delivery

Sevice delivery is appalling at all departments on all levels within the municipality.
- the state of the roads (potholes)
- garbage everywhere
- number of informal settlements
- parks and gardens not maintained

Seemingly smart water metres are dysfunctional having paid so much for them.(money wasted). Now electricity surcharge of R400+ monthly, and the ever increasing price of electricity. All this coupled by dirty streets . No more paying without full adequate and visible services, clean surroundings and safe streets.

I currently unemployed. When I was working I took manage to buy 4 apartment in Hatfield that I rent out to students. And another 4 in various suburbs in Cape Town. Due to high rates and taxes, I cannot afford to pay myself a salary. So even though I have a business I cannot afford to draw a salary. I am actively looking for employment but it’s very hard. I apply for jobs every day but I do not get any positive response.

We are suffering.
No increase recived in 2 years, but everything increases.
Too much corruption that nobody is doing anything about.
You just want more and more money from the people.
We cant, you are taking too much!!!

There is minimal service delivery in our area. The roads are totally messed up and only the community is attempting repairs. We are over taxed and the cost of living is high.

The cost of living is so hi. We know that the Government is not using the funds for its intended purpose. Stop this EPWP thing start employing people permanently to take care of the infrastructure like in the past then you won't be wasting money on tender mafias

Cost of living

My paycheck goes to rent, food, fuel and other necessities.
I get taxed on my income and then again on everything else.
This is criminal.

How can we help grow the economy if the government keep milking us dry?

THe damaged road on 7 passes between Wildernis and George has been closed for a long time now and is seriously disrupting the local community, and is making it more difficuilt for children to get to school in George. The national road between Wildernis and George via kaaiman's river also took a long time to be rebuilt, and this looks like wastefull expenditure, since the old road was fine and didnt need any extensive repair, appart from, a re-seal. THe newly built road had had its top surface again removed before the river crossing, and this looks like CORRUPTION at work. Please investigate the whole project.

The joburg Municipality and Gauteng govt seem determined to squeeze residents dry. There is no show of improved service delivery or better facilities. It is more like the municipality/province is forcing residents to relocate to other provinces where residents are not squeezed dry. If it's not tolls or additional electricity fees imposed only on Joburg residents, then it's ridiculous tariff increases. This just has to stop.
