    Electricity Water Rates Refuse / San
    Metsimaholo (Sasolburg) 10.9% 6.5% 4.5% 5.0%

      • Moqhaka’s Electricity Markup: At 14%, they are charging nearly 5% more than the bulk increase.
      • Ngwathe’s Water Crisis: With a R3 billion debt to Eskom and significant arrears to Rand Water, the 10% water hike is a desperate attempt to stabilize cash flow.
