2024-12-20 14:31:22 +02:00 | Kobus | Primrose | No I do not | Salary increases | Residents are struggling to make ends meet. The service delivery is beyond poor. Yet they want to increase salaries above those that they are supposed to be serving, and not really doing it. |
2024-12-18 11:05:44 +02:00 | John | No I do not | Property rates | Where will it end?? To force pensioners out of their homes??.. who can't even afford the cost of a Oldage home?? This tariffs is getting rediculous out of hand to subsidies, nothing else, the illegal alianse squatter houses and rediculous salaries of DA and CCT Employees. Absurd | |

2024-12-17 01:41:50 +02:00 | Gina | Vaalpark | Not fully | Electricity | We, the voters, are already suffering because of the inflated cost of living. The government already takes so much from us to cover their inflated salaries. Stop crippling the quality of life with higher rates. Find and seal the leaks in the coffers! |
2024-12-09 10:43:35 +02:00 | jon | No I do not | Other | No, I don't consent to any increases at all. The municipality has failed on every possible level on the original contract to supply services. The roads are un-navigable. Constant non-availibity of water. No refuse removal. Electricity problems. No, they don't deserve any increases whatsoever. In fact, they should all be FIRED, and a community-based service provider, non state-affiliated, should be elected to replace them. As has become rampantly obvious, the people themselves are better able to govern themselves than any government body. | |
2024-12-06 13:58:20 +02:00 | Zeenat | Bluff | No I do not | Electricity | Firstly, the Municipality started to overcharge us in Aug 2021 numerous calls and trips to the municipality have been unhelpful - we were told it is water and not electricity then we were told it was a leak - there was none, we were told we had to pay regardless and a payment plan was instituted yet our electricity (not our water) was being cut off for "non payment" as the Municipality wanted the full amount and not the payment plan they agreed to. On 12 August 2023 we went on prepaid YET up to today the municipality is STILL charging us for electricity every month and admitted it's a mistake and is STILL NOT rectifying this. And now you want to increase the tariffs? Nope - I don't support this at all. Credit us first, the pre paid meter was installed by the municipality itself (not privately) and yet they are still insisting we pay for electricity we don't use - this is robbery for a full year now. |

2024-12-01 09:21:21 +02:00 | Hester | No I do not | Refuse | If the municipality better the services they are suppose to deliver (PROPERLY), then they can think about tarriff increase. | |

2024-11-30 15:29:31 +02:00 | Terry | Van Dyks Bay | No I do not | Property rates | We are taxed on everything, it's become ridiculous. No more tax increases please, we are being taxed into oblivion and when we have nothing left, who will you tax then??? Cut down on your expenses instead and scale down on the number of employees at municipalities. The middle class will soon become extinct and then who will you tax??? Enough is Enough for all our sakes? |
2024-11-30 14:28:48 +02:00 | Clement | Kempton Park | No I do not | Electricity | 40% is unaffordable for the Grassroots communities |
2024-11-30 06:46:55 +02:00 | Boitumelo | Silverlakes | No I do not | Property rates | We are already burdened by the tariffs since we are paying for other surburbs. This is unfair. B |
2024-11-30 05:17:54 +02:00 | Spumze | No I do not | Other | We as citizens are already struggling to make ends meet. An increase in tariffs has a ripple effect on everything else for consumers, therefore we can't just look at them in isolation. We as the so-called middle class and the poor really can't afford this life anymore, even the basics. | |

2024-11-29 12:30:43 +02:00 | samantha | No I do not | Other | Monique said it so succinctly: "We are being taxed into poverty. Our salaries are taxed, our food and healthcare systems are taxed, our petrol and clothes are taxed, when we buy a house we are taxed, and then we are taxed on it every month, if a family member dies, we are taxed, when we invest our taxed salaries, our interest made is taxed. When will enough ever be enough? A water-use levy, an electricity levy—oh come on, these are fundamental human rights! We are already paying to receive these "basic rights." Why do we still need to pay additional levies? Inflation is killing us slowly, and the city's proposed traffic increases are just adding fuel to the this fire. The City will say they need more revenue to give better services to the poor, but then not consider the dire state of the middle class. The City complains about the state our sewerage systems and waste plants / landfills are in, but refuse to take any accountability - as if they are not the ones approving all the new housing developments resulting in all the new waste..... We need a strong government willing to say it (the problems) as it is, not this floating around issues not to offend anyone. We need hardcore solutions, time to "put the foot down" kind of actions." | |

2024-11-29 07:19:26 +02:00 | Arthur | Van riebeeck park | No I do not | Other | Rates increases alross the board is criminal and should cease immediately |
2024-11-29 06:59:10 +02:00 | Julie | Sandton | No I do not | Other | I do not agree with any increases and all the levies imposed on us. Our Water situation in Johannesburg is in a diabolical state. The infrastructure has not been maintained, roads are in a terrible condition, robots are forever not working, the bridges are crumbling, the bus service , trains, public parks are not maintained nor are roadsides. The ruble in the street is never cleaned. Cemetries. Eskom akways wants more money. And we ard expected to just pay more and more. |
