2026-01-13 19:12:56 +02:00 | Reinard | Panorama | No I do not | Salary increases | We simply can't keep up with the increases. Majority of South Africans have a negative growth as salary increases are not matching living cost increases. |
2026-01-12 18:47:34 +02:00 | Megan | Green Point | No I do not | Other | My concern being the added cleaning tariff/rate. We were a NEVER GIVEN A SAY, it was just added starting September 2025 and how the increase was determined was absolutely absurd. How do you lump properties valued at R9,000 000 to R100,000 000 together. I do not see any difference in the cleanliness of the city or suburbs, there is still masses of homeless, litter is everywhere, not enough police or traffic police. I can not see where the extra money is being used, all I feel is, we the people, being used! |

2026-01-11 16:05:44 +02:00 | Claudette | Florida | No I do not | Salary increases | We, the citizens demand better services for the exorbitant costs we have to pay, year on year. Employ competent people in key positions. Cut wasteful expenditure. |

2026-01-09 16:00:31 +02:00 | Marcus | No I do not | Salary increases | Salary Increases need to be related to performance and the private sector . Public officials earn massive salaries for poor quality work and are unaccountable to the people they serve. There are many public offcials who are unqualified for the titles they have. | |

2026-01-08 15:56:08 +02:00 | David | Walmer | No I do not | Salary increases | I’ve contracted to the municipality in the past. There is too much mismanagement!! Fix the management, drop all the redundant positions and hold people accountable to their job descriptions and there will be plenty of money for increases without having to increase tariffs! The public is treated like a never-ending supply of money. We are tired of being exploited. Fix the internal issues first! |
2026-01-08 12:34:09 +02:00 | Diane | Umbilo | No I do not | Property rates | Why do we have such an incompetent municipality? What has the ANC done to improve the lives of all of Durban's citizens? Let me tell you - nothing! The decay of Durban is disgusting. Under their watch property has devalued to the extent that home ownership is now nothing but a burden. One has to be a mini-municipality , contracting privately for security, solar, rain tanks, carting rubbish to the dump, cutting and maintaining verges, paying for UIP(Urban Improvement Precinct) which is another joke - we get nothing for our rates and taxes and yet we are forced to pay private contractors so that they can do what the muni is supposed to do - the joke is on us! |
2026-01-08 05:20:24 +02:00 | Peter | Welgelegen | No I do not | Other | All of the increases in rates, and taxes, water, electricity, refuse, sewage and sanitation are always above CPI and are not aligned to our salary increases. The government is just milking us blind. |

2026-01-06 06:39:31 +02:00 | Rina | No I do not | Other | The services are disgusting and yet they want to charge more. Structures are falling apart and basic services are not met yet they want to increase the tariffs. |
