Property rates

All of the tariffs are a concern (rates, electricity, water etc!). Service delivery is poor and no improvements are made in the area.

Water

The DA increased water prices during the drought but did not re-adjust it afterwards. We are overpaying on water and sewerage and despite the horrible economic conditions, it just continues to flog the people who pay rates.

All that it is is a "wealth tax" in disguise. But we are not seeing any improvements in terms of cleaning up etc etc. which always formed part of basic service delivery. Now we have to pay extra. You lost my vote.

Vanderbijlpark is in total disrepair. Only a fraction of the roads and traffic lights are maintained. Everything is just degrading. I lived there for 47 years and it is now a shadow of what it used to be. Crime, poverty, litter, lack of maintenance.... a sight for sore eyes.... Everything that used to be beautiful is neglected, dead and dull. People are selling off whatever they can to survive and it is turning into what looks like the 3rd world and not a civilized place where people have some pride in their surroundings. Just a "dog eat dog world"

The DA run city is part of the DA national, which claims to be pro-poor and wants to get the economy growing. The proposed increases will stifle economic growth and burden the middle class, essentially making it unaffordable to live in Cape Town for any, but the very poor and the wealthy. This budget contributes to government bureaucratic bloat and inefficiency. The budget should be rejected and the proposed "cleaning levy" tossed into the dustbin of history.

All of these tariff increases are ridiculous, epescially that it is based on property value instead of usage. We pay enough rates and other service fees as it is. Rather reduce your spending, especially salaries. We cannot afford these new tariffs.

object to everything increasing.
City of Cape Town has lost the plot. The proposed budget for 2025 that includes a cleaning Levy that is already in the rates amount plus in some areas are charged an area uplifting fee that again includes cleaning. This amounts to paying for one service 3 times. When does this rip off stop. The more we pay the less we get. The DA needs to be more effective in Parliament and stop the mentality of going to court.

The civil servants were paid in previous years to do their jobs at municipal level to manage and improve infrastructure and maintain roads. After all these years we are still battling with potholes, to say the least. Now they want increases to continue to do nothing? How do they justify the increased budget? Their very existence?

Property rates

My existing property rates already equates to around 40% more than what I spend on my property already. Now the rate is to increase by 112%. There is no way that property owners can afford this outrageous increases that is not financially viable just to get a dysfunctional political municipality out of their financial mess
Om dit nog beter te stel: My bestaande erfbelasing waardasie is reeds 40% meer as wat ek vir my eiendom (erf en geboue) betaal het. Nou wil julle dit met 'n verdere 112% verhoog net om julle polities finansiele onbevoegdheid uit die moddert te haal? Julle fokus behoort te wees op nie-betalers (wat net gaan vererger) as om gereelde betalers verder in die modder te druk - SHAME ON YOU

The economic crisis does not allow for any further tariff increases. People are struggling for years yet the corrupt govt keeps increasing utility increases!!! Extortionists, Stop it now or people will revolt!!! Greed stop it. Poor delivery services are ruining the country even further. ANC do not care for the people only themselves.

We have failing services in Reservoir Hills, water leaks daily, power outages, sewer leakage, damage from the floods which have not been repaired, refuse collection delays.
The municipality needs to focus on providing proper service delivery before increasing our rates.

The Municipality is way over staffed and there are so many employees that have niot done a days work for years but are still on the payroll. You can see them walking the streets during working hours, but there's very minimal service delivery. Those salaries can be used to uplift the Poor communities. And Gamagara Municipality didn't even use their entire budget when roads, lights etc are not being maintained. Streets in town without lights for up to 9 years already!

Electricity

The electricity fees are already astronomical. Even with a gas stove and very economic usage of the geyser I can’t get my fees down. I also don’t understand that the fees don’t go down during load shedding. We are without power for hours, but the bill remains the same! How does that work?
