Increases are exorbitant and unfairly allocated to take from people who have worked and always paid the fees as proposed to give to people who do not contribute.
On reaching retirement and not depending on hand outs these fees are crippling and designed as redistribution unfairly.
Used for huge salaries to already top earning employees.

Poverty has already attacked the poor and it will be worse and there will be more criminals.

Availability charges and having to pay more although have invested in water saving and solar to ensure greater availability to all but have been penalised even though have not covered the cost of investing in this. Loaded with cost and introduction of tariff charges.
Increases are over inflation and what people are getting as increases seems unsustainable.
The COCT is trying to do a good job but don't believe it is sustainable to impose new fixed tariffs and charges and they should be looking at other ways to ensure saving and that people pay for the services they receive rather than just putting increases through.

Get rid of the thieves.
Put educated and able people in positions in authorities,and remove cadres. We are democratic not a socialist nor a communist peoples. Only backward and fools with no integrity,discipline or honesty should have no authority in our governance over the countries population.

All costs are above cpi. Salaries are way too high. I do not care for comparisons with other towns. Eskom tariffs should be used throughout with say a 5% increase

The Electricity availability service charge has increased considerably, the water one too, and now there is the cleansing charge, so all in all my Monthly BIll has increased by about R300, which is too much for our pensions to cover.

All of the above reasons. Citizens are incapable to carry the increasing costs of basic services that are ever increasing due to corruption, incompetence and mismanagement of funds. Die pap het ophou reen. Get real, people die of hunger and the so-called middle class are cashstrapped to the bone.

Abolish the RACIST activities of BEE;
oust all corruption;
let the most efficient tenders win regardless of race
streamline services;
fire non-performers;
stop the invasion of societal ticks/leaches from other provinces

and then we will have more than enough money to turn this municipality/province around.

I do not agree with any of the above. South African Citizens should not be the ones liable for the shortfalls, poor planning and corruption of kakistocracy government, who amount to no more than an irresponsible person who constantly overspends on their credit card.

Also the size of a property does not amount to a usage charge, regardless of what so called clever and vague label is used to list additional trumped up charges. Stop killing us financially to make up for governments incompetence and corrupt ways, making it even more difficult to just put food on the table and have a roof over our head.
