2024-07-11 14:37:16 +02:00 | Roger | No I do not | Other | The constant escalation of costs has a compound effect and cannot be sustained by the public. Costs need to be revised more regularly, based on efficiency & competitiveness | |

2024-07-08 13:10:36 +02:00 | Mariska | Woodmead | No I do not | Other | Above CPI increases for services shows knee-jerk reactions which is a part of mismanagement. Government (local/regional and national) needs to learn that salary increases should be earned and not simply a given - especially when so many other services are ignored (road markings, traffic lights, road maintenance, street cleaning, maintenance of verges/parks/municipal areas etc, etc). |

By increasing the tariff increase on electricity and rates how is this discuss made going to help us when the cost of food the main survival of travel to work and doctors and medical is barely afordable and helpful to lead a good and happy life. |
2024-07-08 10:04:20 +02:00 | MAHOMED SALEEM ESSOP | SHERWOOD | No I do not | Electricity | the increase is unaffordable and most ratepayers will not be able to pay .Councillors cannot be seen buy expensive motor vehicles ,when the majority of people are suffering the level of poverty has increased and many citizens are starving ,with no food to eat |

2024-07-07 13:40:55 +02:00 | Faeem | Homestead | No I do not | Electricity | The recent electro tariff has made it even more difficult to keep the lights on. As an unemployed citizen I was refused the indigent status as I am collecting UIF currently. The municipality has made it increasingly difficult to avoid going into debt but will provide assistance only when an individual is in debt instead of avoiding incurring a debt. How does this make any sense? |

2024-07-04 14:07:23 +02:00 | Heleen | Southdowns | No I do not | Other | My top concern - is ALL OF THE ABOVE! The economic climate does not make any room for any type of tariff increases. Ratepayers themselves have had very low of no salary increases since Covid - but have to fork out for Council increases and pay more and more for less and less services. NO!!!!!! |
2024-07-03 18:27:01 +02:00 | Wendy | Bromhof | No I do not | Other | All these increases are an insult to tax paying residents. Services are intermittent and COJ entities are unable to maintain infrastructure due to the greed of the COJ hierarchy whose first interest is themselves not residents. An utter disgrace. |
