Salary increases
If any company is not doing well they cannot grant increases on salaries but rather focus on trying to keep the workers employed whereas the State is doing the opposite in all departments such as Eskom. We as pensioners are barely getting increases to cope with inflation or cost of living for basic necessities.

Property rates
I live in a block on the 6 floor in Amanzimtoti. We pay a heavy levy fee, lift fee and we need to pay rates and taxes too. Why we don't have what home owners have like a yard for the kids to play. I would like that to be taken of. Rates and taxes are nearly the same price as our levies.

Electricity
As 78 year old pensioners who have lived in this Boksburg house since 1975 we are unable to afford these interminable above inflation increases. We are being forced to sell our home because Ekurhuleni is corrupt and cannot contain costs and pay the top employees ridiculous salaries and perks.

Property rates
How can one support and justify any type of increase, when the municipality (and its' staff) treat people poorly, ignore reports where services fall short, take months to resolve issues, and not deliver the services we already pay for?

Residential roads are falling apart, pavements aren't cleaned and maintained. Grass on the sides of the road is not cut . Litter everywhere. Streetlights don't work more than half the year. Water leaks aren't attended to months (sometimes years) on end....and when someone finally arrives they speak to you with disrespect and do sub standard repairs. Just too many things to mention in one space.... But until they start doing the job they need to, deliver the services people have been paying for, and start treating the public with respect....any form of increase are not justified.

I do not agree with the proposed tariff/rates increases for the Property rates, water tariff, electricity tariff, refuse tariff, sewage tariff and salary increases.

CoT expect us to pay more but the service delivery is just getting poorer and poorer.

They take months to repair potholes , and when it is eventually repaired, it is bigger and deeper after the next time it rains.
