I don't agree on any increases. Not property tax, water/electricity increases, salary increases, sewrage etc

It saddens me that there are constant increases, but the service delivery is almost non existent. Load shedding, water cut off for days, water usage and sewerage linked, if water use goes up the sewerage bill goes up as well?? (Just watered the garden.)The roads are full of potholes and this makes driving dangerous. The lack of municipal service is NOT ACCEPTABLE

How can you up the rates if there are vitually no services. Roads, water supply and electricity supply are forever broken. The municapilaty never answers any letters or queries. They certainly do not need pay increases. The Western Cape Government needs to step in and rather stop the rot and corruption before the town totally collapse.

Salary increases

Municipalities across the country are not financially sound and the burden and penalty falls on the property owner who have little or nothing to do with the running of local government. The root causes should be addressed instead of punishing tax payers and allowing the problems to continue. The best way to address the systemic problems is to stop taking money from tax payers and force those responsible to be accountable or to be removed and replaced with capable leaders who will zoom in on the root causes and actually fix it.
The rates are already very high in proportion to the services received. We receive no services on farm, yet pay municipal rates. And our town is not clean!

The rates for the services offered is disproportionately high. I'm sure we can get private services for a quarter of the price. If necessary that is the route that we'll need to go

Due to high cost of living, we barely can afford essentials and doing our best to pay rates and taxes. The increase will harm and affect our livelyhood in every way.

The proposed increases - the sur-charges. People are struggling already!
Mismanagement and failure to deliver on duties - let alone promises. Funds are being extracted from residents at unprecedented levels, yet services are ever worse, infrastructure is crumbling, financial waste is stratospheric. Root out corruption. Employ hardworking employees, and not just those to fill a seat but do no work. Manage the problem, not just put a plaster on it. Roads in a state - do not just patch, fix the problem that caused it. If you do patch a piece of road - ensure it done properly. I seen a patched road, a week later -another hole in / around same spots.
Retirees with no hope for income increases, but who have contributed for decades to the growth and maintenance of our city, are unduly punished by increases in these services costs.
