The municipality are an incompetent and careless organisation. They cannot manage anything properly and most of the ongoing services are due to volenteer group pressure and action!

We don't have any services from the Municipality, only increases that doesn't stop. We have our own wat, use Eskom, and our roads are gravel and is not graded regularly. I oppose this increase

As a resident in Groot Marico, which is part of Ramotshere Moiloa, the municipality does nothing in our town. Their offices are in a state of disrepair, they don't even clean their own gardens and do not maintain our roads, which we only have a few.
Therefore, in my opinion, they do not add any value to our property, so our rates should not be increased.

Salary increases
If any company is not doing well they cannot grant increases on salaries but rather focus on trying to keep the workers employed whereas the State is doing the opposite in all departments such as Eskom. We as pensioners are barely getting increases to cope with inflation or cost of living for basic necessities.

I live in a block on the 6 floor in Amanzimtoti. We pay a heavy levy fee, lift fee and we need to pay rates and taxes too. Why we don't have what home owners have like a yard for the kids to play. I would like that to be taken of. Rates and taxes are nearly the same price as our levies.

As 78 year old pensioners who have lived in this Boksburg house since 1975 we are unable to afford these interminable above inflation increases. We are being forced to sell our home because Ekurhuleni is corrupt and cannot contain costs and pay the top employees ridiculous salaries and perks.

How can one support and justify any type of increase, when the municipality (and its' staff) treat people poorly, ignore reports where services fall short, take months to resolve issues, and not deliver the services we already pay for?

Residential roads are falling apart, pavements aren't cleaned and maintained. Grass on the sides of the road is not cut . Litter everywhere. Streetlights don't work more than half the year. Water leaks aren't attended to months (sometimes years) on end....and when someone finally arrives they speak to you with disrespect and do sub standard repairs. Just too many things to mention in one space.... But until they start doing the job they need to, deliver the services people have been paying for, and start treating the public with respect....any form of increase are not justified.

I do not agree with the proposed tariff/rates increases for the Property rates, water tariff, electricity tariff, refuse tariff, sewage tariff and salary increases.

CoT expect us to pay more but the service delivery is just getting poorer and poorer.

They take months to repair potholes , and when it is eventually repaired, it is bigger and deeper after the next time it rains.

The South African middle class is systematically being destroyed. any successful economy depends on a strong and economically active middle class. Salary increases do not keep pace with actual inflation, and the middle class is constantly being hammered with more fiscal demands (fuel, tax, medical, security, food etc.). It is time to stop the rot in government and utilise state funds effectively.

privatize services more to cut the budget and set targets.
it is unfair to keep rely on the people to bare the brunt on a budget shortage
