Property rates
As stated the CoCT for the PAST 10 years has thrown us under their Wealth Builder train in opposing the regulated means of doing their correct EVALUATIONS to RSA property rates. They are using Foreign Policy tactics to enrich certain foreign Country especially European and Middle EAST citizens to grab our Conservations. Allowing them to by Properties under a scheme excuse of prohibiting locals access to Nature Conservation. then applying foreign expansion of interests and their wealth valuta currencies to score in rands,. What actually is happening lucrative deals is made and we contribute by handing local citizens hefty rates to incur a money warmongering slavery means of we buying it via a system for foreigners to occupy our forbidden and abusing regulating laws on ethnic peoples of the land by enslaving us with our hard earned lifeline moneys .

Other is concern for all service charges & increasing property values

Salary increases on an overstaffed municipality & tendering processes that were once done by municipal employees.

The roads are in a terrible condition. Very recently a great number of houses were without water supply due to a lack of maintenance on the lines and when eventually the water returned it was unusable and dirty. This is a weekly occurrence. The idea infrastructure in falling apart with property taxes sky rocketing. No communicatiion from the municipal manager or any official as regards to problems keeping us up to date with the planned outcomes. The people are engaged with the services rendered by the municipality.

We don't have that money to buy electricity and rate at the some time. Again we don't even get free tokens.

Living in a complex, we are forced to pay a portion of electricity to a common property allocation. Increased rates will not only make it difficult to pay my own usage, but extra strain with shared costs I have no control over.

I object to all increases for Property Rates, Water, Electricity, Refuse, Sewage and Salary Increases. As City Council have proved that they do not have the ability or inclination to professionally manage a City Like Johannesburg.

City Council should be driving savings initiatives and reducing costs instead if increasing Rates to cover their "Incompetence" Roads, Bridges and Infrastructure are now completely Trashed (i.e. Wemmer Pan Road section has been closed for over 6 Years and is now a Dumping Ground for Rubble) - Companies are closing and leaving due to costs , poor and intermittent electricity supply Reducing employment opportunities. You should be Ashamed of yourselves.

City Council has become a Metaphor as an extension of the SASSA grant system, we are paying council staff for appearance fees and their lifestyle - not to pay for services.
And then they grant themselves salary increases - without shame. This has to stop....

JHB City Council is completely out of touch with reality.

Salary increases
This is not in line with CPI and government - who is a service provider - should not go out of these perimeters.
Workers cannot carry this - people will stop working, except if you maybe earn municipal salary? Which we have no insight in! And for which they do very little as there is never money to even do the basics like keeping streets clean an driveable.

All increases at this point in time is unacceptable. Msunduzi municipality has not yet shown that they are earnestly trying to get money in from sources who are not paying their municipal bills. They have not holding those who continue to steal electricity and water accountable. They are not delivering proper services, yet the middle and lower income people have to foot the bill continuously. Cross subsidization must stop or be limited. Increases should only be allowed when the municipality has shown that they can run this place properly with no corruption or favouring of friends, or writing off of bad debt; when infrastructure is improved and fixed, and the municipality can be run responsibly. Not at this point in time, because they are wasting limited income, which is decreasing by the month.

Property rates
How much of the locally earned income from rates and services by property owners is used for property owners. The ratio of cross subsidization of informal and subeconomic environments while laudable is too high. Property owners particularly at the middle and lower income groups are really battling to make ends meet.

In today's high cost living an increase above inflation rates is unaffordable.

Reconsider to current inflation rates.

Why do we have to pay more for poor service delivery? Our City is falling apart and nothing is improving. But we have to pay more for this to happen?

La nyela e bile ha le na any shame. This town is literally falling off the bone. Gov offices, jobs, schools and shops are full of foreigners. People are resorting to building their own homes with their bare hands. The kgosis have built more schools and faster than the government. and you want to increase the rates so the ANC and DA comrades can loot more and do less? ha re na metsi! motlakase is too much! and the property value around here is in the shitter because nobody wants to live in a place where nobody does fucking nothing. maybe places like Potch can increase rates cuz in the bast 10 years they actually built up. but you greedy goblins deserve nothing. in fact it should be decreased.
