My concern is all of the above. In which province or world do these decision makers live? Are they so oblivious to the obvious - that people are barely making it through the month. It looks like the ultimate objective is to increase salaries and live in luxury. Bugger the rest. Hele Zille all over - she said that "THE PEOPLE WILL PAY!". Mantashe said "We never struggled to be poor". And true to their sayings .. they are looking after themselves and helping themselves. We will pray the oppressors out.

No, I do not agree with the proposed tariff/rates increases. In the current economic climate, with high inflation and unemployment, these hikes – including 57% on water fixed charges, 100% on sanitation, 33% on electricity surcharges, and a new city-wide cleaning tariff – are excessive and regressive. Introducing property-value-based fixed charges disproportionately burdens middle-class families and property owners, effectively acting as a wealth tax. Transparency is lacking on staff salaries, and the City should prioritise efficiency and cutting waste before increasing rates by up to 100% in some areas.

My concerns are of all listed topics above. It is horrendously and grossly inhumane to have to pay so much ... multiply all charges with each citizen in municipality and publish it for all to see

you need to learn how-to better work and manage our money

Klerksdorp Municipality is CORRUPT. ALL those who committed fraud are NOT in jail. Potholes and crime are out of hand.

Property rates
We need a municipality that is concerned about the upkeep of Kwadukuza Our beautiful town is no more. Maintaining the quality of our roads is lacking terribly. We don’t have regular supply of essential services.

In Dunnottar the big lights in the parks that take up SUPER amounts of electricity and street lights are on 24/7. We are expected to pay for mismanagement or a complete lack thereof. The grass is almost never consistantly cut. Grass and small trees grow into the streets which damage the road that will need to be redone in the future tha will cost millions. A serious lack of maintenance and mismanagement of resources.

I do not support the proposed tariff increases.

Residents are being asked to pay more while basic municipal services continue to fail. Roads are deteriorating, waste management is unreliable, infrastructure is poorly maintained, and service delivery remains inconsistent across the district.

I am not opposed to paying for services — but payment must be linked to actual, measurable service delivery. At present, residents are effectively being asked to fund increased salaries and administrative costs without corresponding improvements in performance, accountability, or outcomes.

Before any tariff increases are considered, the municipality should first demonstrate:

Proper maintenance of roads and public infrastructure

Reliable and consistent waste removal

Transparent use of funds

Consequences for mismanagement and non-performance

Without clear evidence that current funds are being used efficiently and that service delivery is improving, tariff increases are unjustified and unfair to residents and businesses.

I therefore formally object to the proposed tariff increases and request that the municipality prioritise fixing existing service delivery failures before seeking additional revenue from the public.
