2026-08-20 15:50:50 +02:00 | GILLIAN | Paradise | No I do not | Salary increases | Our wage bill is too high, too many non-effective directors who twiddle their thumbs all day and earn a fortune for doing nothing, Mayor, Municipal Manager and others that seem hell bent on breaking the town, not enough plumbers, electricians and others that actually do the work. Actually, our town mirrors parliament with all the useless ticks that sit around earning salaries for doing nothing. Why is there no improvement on infrastructure, daily water leaks, electrical outages etc. and cows, goats, pigs running around the N2 as if we are in a farm area in the middle of the old Transkei. The Municipality is too busy feathering their own nests and don't care about the town that is dying. Sewage in the lagoon should be a priority for this bunch of ticks. Not to mention all the hobos sleeping in shop doors, crapping on the pavements, accosting tourists etc. Daily they mug people without any consequence. The council should be ashamed of themselves. Soon there won't be any tourists anymore and the unemployed ANC voter will have themselves to blame. No accountability as always. |

2026-08-20 14:34:19 +02:00 | Gareth | Lakefield | No I do not | Electricity | Employees are too numerous, too lazy and incompetent. Every day the street lights are on in Benoni suburbs. Its our money being wasted. There must be accountability and there must be dismissals. |

2026-08-20 12:40:20 +02:00 | Patricia | Plumstead | No I do not | Property rates | All costs are appreciating far above inflation and affordability |
2026-08-20 12:38:57 +02:00 | Richard | Claremont | No I do not | Property rates | appreciating far above inflation and affordability |
2026-08-20 12:37:07 +02:00 | Angela | Claremont | No I do not | Property rates | All costs are becoming unaffordable. This is especially true for home owners who's property prices have appreciated and they can no longer afford to pay the exceptionally high rates. Their asset value may have increased (in the primary residence), however their cash flow may not have appreciated at all. |
2026-08-20 12:35:36 +02:00 | Marguerite | Groenvallei | No I do not | Property rates | I just cannot afford any further increases! My salary does not increase at the rate that food and all other necessities increase. We also do not get the service from our Municipality. I live directly next to a Sewerage pump and it fails constantly causing sewage to spill. My house has an issue with storm water coming into my garden and also eroding my erf and even after complaining, nothing gets done. The roads are in a shocking state too, potholes everywhere which Afriforum now has to fix! Why should I pay more for failing service delivery. |
2026-08-20 09:36:30 +02:00 | Christie | Oudtshoirn | No I do not | It become unaffordable..and most households dont have a regular income. | |
2026-08-20 08:29:33 +02:00 | Mark | Viljoenskroon | No I do not | Property rates | The Municipality is providing less and less services for inflated relative rates… eskom is not being paid water delivery shoddy and there is little or no maintenance to infrastructure |

2026-08-20 07:52:32 +02:00 | Erefaan | CHARLO | No I do not | Electricity | Electricity keep on going up. We as normal people can't afford it. We had loadshedding but little or no maintenance was done. Pylons are rusting and toppling. Someone high up hired out a generator for self gain. We pay our rates and taxes but there is no improvement. Streets are overgrown with weeds , pothole are just getting bigger and increasing, road traffic markings have become almost invisible. Street lights are not replaced or repaired. |
