2026-09-08 12:01:46 +02:00 | Leanne | Sunnyridge | No I do not | Salary increases | They are all huge concerns, our streetlights don’t work, we went without electricity for a total of 35 days with no assistance from staff. There is no value coming from Ekhuruleni, I am not willing to pay more for anything. |
2026-09-08 11:58:08 +02:00 | Lulu | Plattekloof | No I do not | Property rates | Honestly, sometimes it feels like our government are blood-sucking creatures who want every last drop of your blood! Look at Ekurhuleni — they’ve already completely messed the place up. They do absolutely nothing, while private funding organisations and NPCs are being formed by residents just to clean up and maintain our own communities because the municipality simply isn’t doing its job. These NPCs are filling potholes, cutting grass, painting roads and actually trying to keep our areas looking decent. And who is paying for all of this? We are. So let me get this straight: we pay the government our rates and taxes, and get very little in return. Then, because the municipality isn’t doing what it is supposed to do, we have to dig into our own pockets and donate to NPCs so that someone can actually get things done in our neighbourhoods. And now they want to increase the fees AGAIN?! NO! Enough is enough. Why should we keep paying more and more for services we aren't receiving? It honestly makes me want to stop paying altogether. I’m tired of paying twice — once to the government and then again to fix the things the government should have been doing in the first place! |

2026-09-08 11:48:24 +02:00 | Lulu | sunnyridge | No I do not | Salary increases | Our government are blood sucking creatures!!! And want every last drop of your blood!! In Ekurhuleni they already have effed up the place they do nothing that there are privet funding institutions NPCs that are being formed to clean certain of our areas, because our municipalities dont do anything for you and know they want to increase the fees AGAIN!!!! So we pay the government and get nothing in return and then we donate to these NPCs in our areas because they are actually doing things like filing potholes cutting grass paining the road because YOU the current GOVERMENT does eff all! NO!!! No more paying for nothing!! I wish I could stop paying completely!!!! |

2026-09-08 10:38:16 +02:00 | W | Durbanville | No I do not | Property rates | We are being targeted, plain and simple. Go do your begging and collection on the other side of the road for a change rather than the easy path by milking us. Oh yes, sorry I forgot... it is not politically correct, you will have mass protests and destruction of property if you dare do that!! 🙁 Everyone wants to lay claim to equality, so let's do that then. Apply and collect equally throughout the whole of Cape Town and not just in the law abiding suburbs! |
2026-09-08 10:16:29 +02:00 | Duane | Portlands | No I do not | Property rates | There's little room for households to cope in poorer communities with the ever increasing fees. How much more do we have to fork out every year to account for poor governance? The Western Cape boasts about it's abilities and yet we're not getting the benefits. |
2026-09-08 09:54:12 +02:00 | Shaun` | Fish Hoek | No I do not | Every year this just increases beyond what is reasonable. Just because my house value increased it does not mean it costs you more that last year to remove the rubbish, and sweep the streets. |
