Cost of living

Due to inept municipalities we have bad service delivery which we are paying a lot for. Infrastructure is falling apart, corruption and favouring of friends happen when it comes to bills, money are not being gathered from people who owe the municipality, electricity theft are not stopped, etc. The economy is staggering under the assault from all sides and we can't make ends meet, yet municipalities and government just want to up what citizens have to pay with little to no regard to keeping their side of the constitutional commitment.

Cost of living

There is no subsidized accommodations for pensioners in this country. We are forced to sell there homes due to the high rates and taxes, municipal accounts payable each month. Government pensions do not begin to cover basic food bills for the month. The Government is making it impossible for the elderly to survive and be self sustainable with the constant mismanagement of citizens taxes. Constant increases in Rates & Taxes to cover the incompetence and corruption in municipal departments must be dealt with and stopped instead of trying to get more out of the people who are already paying exorbitant costs.

Top concern is the cost of living sky rocketing, service delivery is non-existent and almost every municipality is bankrupt when they should be flush with money if it was spent appropriately instead of pocketing all of it and just being greedy for more and more with no regard for the people they hurt or realising where that money is coming from. It will end one day.

Freeze rates and taxes. Deep dive into salaries and expenditure. Fire corrupt employees, re-set salaries, and enforce service to the people who pay for it. They are your bread and butter.
Fix your problem instead of bleeding your country dry.

Municipalities need to get their admin right. then there will be money for everyone. If municipalities did the admin for the indigent registers correctly, then they world get more money from national/provincial government. Then they must pay Eskom and the water boards correctly. Lastly they need to get everyone to pay for their services. No use asking people to pay more when (in the case of Randfontein) there are up o 7% of people who do not pay their rates and taxes

South Africa has the highest unemployment, crime, lack of service delivery in the world. How are people expected to pay these exorbitant taxes and survive the high cost of living at the same time ?

Yes. An urgent freeze on municipal rates and taxes is essential in these uncertain economic times. Citizens face deteriorating services from failing municipalities, yet rates keep rising to fund inefficiencies and pay hikes. The Act empowers ministers to limit rates when they prejudice national economic policies or mobility of labour/capital—conditions clearly met today. Halt increases until pre-lockdown recovery levels are achieved; this prevents rates revolts and encourages responsible governance without punishing over-taxed residents.

Municipalities can take it from the corrupt officials and freeze their salary increases.

Municipal collapse

The Kgetleng River Local Municipality CANNOT even deliver the most basic service like uninterrupted daily clean water. The electricity infrastructure is near collapse with constant regular days long interruptions. Some parts of the towns the streets are completely destroyed or disintegrating due to lack of maintenance or proper repairs.
No raises in tariffs until the municipality sort these issues out permanently.
