We are pensioners and cannot afford these increases. we will have to cut other costs and lower our standard of living

Nothing is free, nobody works for free - I do understand.

But all these increases, all at once, is rough. I did not even win a 5% increase last financial year.

So I'm objecting to all the increases, but since I'm asked to highlight on in particular: Sanitation.
9.2%?
Really?

Can these increases not at least be phased in over the next 2 or 3 years?

The Rates applied are clearly out of touch with Reality and Council clearly are out of their depth when it comes to managing a city - I have chosen Electricity as my top concern, however it remains the same for all the listed Items.

Claim the money that Eskom has been stealing for years before these increases can be justified.
Why should we always have to stand in for the corrupt ones?

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

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).

The tariff increase is an unfair increase as we are paying high water charges as we do not have a supply of water on a daily basis but are being charged for unused water. 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.

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
