2025-12-31 09:29:18 +02:00 | Ernest | Vasco | No I do not | Other | My concern is all of the above. In which province or world do these decision makers live? Are they so oblivious to the obvious - that people are barely making it through the month. It looks like the ultimate objective is to increase salaries and live in luxury. Bugger the rest. Hele Zille all over - she said that "THE PEOPLE WILL PAY!". Mantashe said "We never struggled to be poor". And true to their sayings .. they are looking after themselves and helping themselves. We will pray the oppressors out. |

2025-12-28 22:39:37 +02:00 | Juan | No I do not | Water | No, I do not agree with the proposed tariff/rates increases. In the current economic climate, with high inflation and unemployment, these hikes – including 57% on water fixed charges, 100% on sanitation, 33% on electricity surcharges, and a new city-wide cleaning tariff – are excessive and regressive. Introducing property-value-based fixed charges disproportionately burdens middle-class families and property owners, effectively acting as a wealth tax. Transparency is lacking on staff salaries, and the City should prioritise efficiency and cutting waste before increasing rates by up to 100% in some areas. | |

2025-12-24 09:01:22 +02:00 | Werner | Eduan Park | No I do not | Electricity | Electricity is already expensive why is inefficiency rewarded and efficiency not. |
2025-12-23 11:36:57 +02:00 | R | No I do not | Other | My concerns are of all listed topics above. It is horrendously and grossly inhumane to have to pay so much ... multiply all charges with each citizen in municipality and publish it for all to see you need to learn how-to better work and manage our money | |

2025-12-19 14:54:59 +02:00 | Doug | Declerqville | No I do not | Other | Klerksdorp Municipality is CORRUPT. ALL those who committed fraud are NOT in jail. Potholes and crime are out of hand. |
2025-12-13 15:34:56 +02:00 | Navanitha | Stanger Manor | No I do not | Property rates | We need a municipality that is concerned about the upkeep of Kwadukuza Our beautiful town is no more. Maintaining the quality of our roads is lacking terribly. We don’t have regular supply of essential services. |
2025-12-12 22:41:57 +02:00 | Martin | Dunnottar | No I do not | Electricity | In Dunnottar the big lights in the parks that take up SUPER amounts of electricity and street lights are on 24/7. We are expected to pay for mismanagement or a complete lack thereof. The grass is almost never consistantly cut. Grass and small trees grow into the streets which damage the road that will need to be redone in the future tha will cost millions. A serious lack of maintenance and mismanagement of resources. |
2025-12-12 09:22:59 +02:00 | johannes nicolaas | Sonlandpark | No I do not | Other | I do not support the proposed tariff increases. Residents are being asked to pay more while basic municipal services continue to fail. Roads are deteriorating, waste management is unreliable, infrastructure is poorly maintained, and service delivery remains inconsistent across the district. I am not opposed to paying for services — but payment must be linked to actual, measurable service delivery. At present, residents are effectively being asked to fund increased salaries and administrative costs without corresponding improvements in performance, accountability, or outcomes. Before any tariff increases are considered, the municipality should first demonstrate: Proper maintenance of roads and public infrastructure Reliable and consistent waste removal Transparent use of funds Consequences for mismanagement and non-performance Without clear evidence that current funds are being used efficiently and that service delivery is improving, tariff increases are unjustified and unfair to residents and businesses. I therefore formally object to the proposed tariff increases and request that the municipality prioritise fixing existing service delivery failures before seeking additional revenue from the public. |
2025-12-11 15:02:56 +02:00 | Cobus | Koster | No I do not | Electricity | Water & Electricity is very poor. Resident are days/weeks without water. Municipality don't have tools to fix faulty electricity also days without electricity. Incompatant technicians |
2025-12-11 13:17:36 +02:00 | Hanlie | No I do not | Electricity | Dienste is buitenspoirig duur. Werknemers verdien baie goed, maar Daar is geen rekendskap... Jy jan nie 'n probleem aammeld nie, want niemand neem verantwoirdelikheud daarvoif nie. Rljd werkbemer is dy/haar eie baas... | |

2025-12-10 23:37:10 +02:00 | Joshua | No I do not | Water | Tariffs/rates continously increase with no improvement in service delivery. What are we paying for? Where is our money going to? | |

2025-12-10 13:11:26 +02:00 | Renier | Durbanville | No I do not | Other | The compulsory fee for city wide cleaning is unconstitutional and was implemented unilaterally. Little to no benefit in the area I reside. |
2025-12-08 13:04:43 +02:00 | Pieter | Swealtjie | No I do not | Property rates | They don't do anything with that money but to steal it and use it for other useless things. If they maintained the streets and surroundings and parks, but it's just another form of income without any service, rates must be cancelled if there is no service linked to it |
2025-12-08 11:09:46 +02:00 | Ronnie | Sea Point | No I do not | Electricity | The electricity charges are ridiculous. In June 2024 the home users charge was 219.21 and the electricity was R2.6833 per kwh. In August 2024 the home user charge went up to 245.03 - 11% and electricity also went up to 2.9870 - 11%. In July 2025 the now called "service and wires charge" went from 245.03 to 339.89-- a whopping increase of 38.7% THAT IS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. Electricity went down a "whopping" decrease to 2.9362 -- 1.7% . AND VAT STILL HAS TO BE ADDED TO THESE PRICES. With the new charge for "service and wire " I would like to know who else are we paying for. All emails sent to them are unanswered. |
2025-12-07 07:27:57 +02:00 | Eugene | Randburg | No I do not | Other | I object to all the proposed increases. |

2025-12-04 06:45:05 +02:00 | Angelo | Richmond Hill | No I do not | Other | Living expenses are becoming exorbantly high and service delivery levels are decreasing. Street lights are off mostly everwhere in Port elizabeth. nothing is done about drunk drivers. Accidents are made and the drivers are rushed away by friends before they can get arrested because our police force is understaffed. Local hospitals are falling apart and roads are failing. Where is all the money going? |
2025-12-03 07:00:41 +02:00 | Claudette | Florida | No I do not | Electricity | I do not agree to any proposed tariff increases because we can no longer afford it , we have already been overtaxed for years. Electricity is no longer a necessity, it has become a luxury. How can a country like SA with such a high unemployment rate, literally tax their citizens to death , while the state and politicians who earn exorbitant salaries and perks are given almost everything for free ? We are the most unequal country in the world, thanks to anc and it's babies. |
2025-12-02 20:26:00 +02:00 | Brendan | Pullenshope | No I do not | Property rates | I don't agree with any kind of increases as the politicians have bled the people of this country dry it's time for them to start paying. If a politician received the same basic salary of the people in their district then none of these fat cats would want to be politicians. |
