Property rates
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.

Reckless mismanagement and failure to deliver on duties - let alone promises. Funds are being extracted (extorted!) from residents at unprecedented levels, yet services are ever worse, infrastructure is crumbling, financial waste is stratospheric. Hordes of undocumented migrants are leeching our resources whilst honest long-term residents are being fleeced and under-served.
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 services costs.

Service delivery at an all time low. If this was an private entity they would be out if business. Tariff increases for what?

As an unemployed individual i am not able to afford any increases. The quality of the water is not safe for consumption as it contains a whole lot of chemicals thats harmful to our bodies so why are we even paying for water in the first place. The water is killing us and we must pay for it, insanity!

My suburb still look the same as the day i moved there which was 14 years ago. So where is the money being spend cos its not spend on my area. In Gaylee every second light pole has a light as per original plan 50 years ago. Since then crime is rampant and the under lit streets is enabling criminals to brake in and assault people on the dark streets. So what are we paying for

Residents and citizens had enough.
It’s time to go back to the system of a municipality per town concept. Bigger the municipality, bigger chance for mismanagement and corruption.

Taxpayers had enough off tariff and electricity increases because of mismanagement of funds, theft, cadres, syndicates and no accountability for corruption/fraud within municipalities.
The ANC approve projects / laws without the community consent. Municipalities and Government agencies are corrupt and don’t use money for service delivery or use money for personal gain or agenda.
Drain the swamp.
It’s time to expose and prosecute.

Security issues in towns:
No justice for victims/residents in communities.
Crime in our areas and house robberies are out of hand. Enough is enough bring back the death penalty for criminals committing murders/ violent crimes/rape etc against law abiding citizens/resident in communities and towns.

How can retired people keep up with unrealistic demands like this.
Time all the stolen money is returned & the bloated staff numbers are addressed. Few are capable of doing the jobs they have
Utter & complete lack of service
