2026-09-10 17:01:48 +02:00 | Ndikundisani | East end | No I do not | We pay exorbitant amounts for basic electricity but we never have electricity in Rustenburg east end. To add to that not even one street light works. What exactly are we paying for? | |
2026-09-10 14:53:46 +02:00 | Colleen | Kenilworth, Cape Town | No I do not | Electricity | The court ruled that no fixed fees were to be charged for city cleaning, water or sewerage. Yet only the fee for city cleaning has not been charged since 1 July. And all the fixed fees should be reversed for the earlier periods too from date of implementation. The increased cost of electricity since 2018 is ludicrous and is no longer affordable - i.t.o. the constitution a government is obliged to provided basic services of water and electricity. Supplying it only to the rich is unconstiutional. We must not be penalised with higher costs because of government incompetence which caused loadshedding. which forced citizens at great personlal cost to find alternative supply which has resulted in substantially less sales for Escom. Now we must pay exhorbitant amounts for electricity to pay "salasries" for incompetent extortionists ! No , the salries of those responsbile for loadshedding must be REDUCED or they must be FIRED. Also why must pensioners still pay property tax? When only a fraction of it is spent on infrastructure where we live. Our SUBURB roads and pavements are TATTY full of cracks, holes and weeds not having been resurfaced for 30 YEARS!!!.. Law must change that no property taxes are payable for longer than 15 years to protect pensioners - those that have an income under the income tax threshold - they should only have to pay for water and electricity that is SUPPLIED. Not sewerage, not refuse, not rates - because we should not have to pay back the loans that government has made on the pretext that it would be used to benefit citizens but was STOLEN by the Organised Crime Syndicate fronting as a government for the people. !!! |

2026-09-10 02:08:40 +02:00 | Jappie | South Hills | No I do not | We do not even afford electricity because as things stand, we're currently experiencing daylight robbery from our manucipality. How on earth does one pay a R100 for a meager 25 units? We don't even afford properties, yet we're suffering with electricity bills, it's an increase in everything except for service delivery. The incompetence of our government leaders is unmatched | |
2026-09-10 01:35:18 +02:00 | Tshepo | NORWOOD | No I do not | Property rates | Considering the state of Joburg (let alone other municipalities) and the disgusting amount that civil servants are earning for not doing their jobs, all while prices and fuel rise continuously (and we keep having to buy new tyres with all the potholes!) - this is a real tone deaf insult to all the citizens that keep this operation running depsite it being way past it's expiry date. May all that is deserved come to you soon, City of Joburg - and all other municipalities. |
2026-09-09 16:31:11 +02:00 | Eloise | Hennopspark | No I do not | Salary increases | The lack of service delivery does not justifiy the salary increases. With inflation on all other costs such as food and fuel, we will not be able to afford our municipal rates |
