As a pensioner living in a retirement village, being 75 years of age i was given to understand that no rates and taxes or a reduced rate should be paid

Plug the corruption outflow of funds, fire all the corrupt employees, recover stolen funds and then review tariff increases.

It is WRONG to increase tariffs on diligent honest rate payers to recover losses due to corruption.

It's bad enough that each taxpayer has to subsidise at least 5 people with their income tax, without compounding it with increased municipal fees. Interestingly, with every rates increase, we receive fewer services.…

The track record of this municipality managing its financial affairs and providing the desired service does not warrant the increases. It is really a case of fix what is broken before asking for more money. The issue of corruption must be addressed and transparency provided in all dealings.

All the areas listed are increasing above CPI namely....The City Council will implement the annual tariff increases with effect from 1st July 2025.
The tariff increases are as follows:-
Property rates    4.6%
Electricity charge   12.41% Overall % the different steps might vary in %
Water   13.9%   Overall % the different steps might vary in %
sewerage charge         R802.47 per unit 13.9% increase.
Refuse     6.6 %
The sewerage charge will be implemented on 1st July 2025.
HOW CAN THIS BE JUSTIFIED IF SERVICES ARE GENERALY NOT RENDERED AND THE TAX PAYING CORE IS DECREASING AS A RESULT? WHATEVER THE COUNCIL DEMANDS OF WHICH MOSTLY FOR MUNICIPLE WORKER WAGES, WE AS ORDINARY CITIZENS MUST JUST PAY!
DISASTER IS OUR FUTURE WITH THIS MENTALITY.

Why should inflated salaries be made even larger when service delivery and quality of the server is abysmal. It took over 5 months... MONTHS!! to fix and tar up a water leak in the road. The hole which was left as "fixed" by the team who "Fixed" the leak was damaging peoples cars and had to be driven over to get into the road where people lived. This "fix" then undid itself several times thereafter due to not finishing the job, which meant that more leaks took place, more "fixes" took place, and more vehicles wheels were damaged. No one should be getting raises until this shit is resolved and services are provided in their entirety.

If you ordered a large bacon pizza from an establishment and they gave you a raw pizza and told you to cook it yourself, would you be happy? Or if they gave you no bacon, or no cheese, and cooked the rest, would you be happy? Provide the WHOLE thing and be done.

Again, another proposed increase in rates, yet service levels fall well below a liveable acceptance level

All are you concerns. Citizens are paying elevated rates on all municipal services which are not delivered consistently. Our roads are in a total mess. Our ministers get paid increases for doing nothing. Our government doesn't need to have so many ministers. They don't have yo gly first class international flights.

With the income tax tables not changing I believe the rates should stay the same too.

With property rates increasing it would put a strain on people already paying more for every other service as well as recent tax on fuel. It seems very unfair
