2026-10-21 09:12:34 +02:00 | JOHANN | Pinnacle Point Golf Estate | No I do not | Property rates | With no municipal accountability and money wastage, municipalities think they can just increase rates and taxes. Maybe improve defficiency and delivery of services first! |
2026-10-21 09:00:02 +02:00 | Bobby | Durbanville | No I do not | Electricity | The municipal cost for the average home owner went up more than inflation for many years now, we can't keep up with this. And the attitude of the civil servant has is that we the tax payer is there servant while we are paying there salaries that is way above the private sector rates. |
2026-10-21 08:32:01 +02:00 | Shaun | Colchester | No I do not | Property rates | Normal working people simply can NOT afford and make ends-meet anymore. We are forced to pay more for everything including municipal services that is " Non existent"! We do not have one single working street light in our street, residents have started installing their own solar lighting on the municipal lampposts to try and provide a "safer" environment around their houses. |

2026-10-21 07:11:31 +02:00 | Heather | westville | No I do not | Electricity | We are all sick and tired of paying for the municipalities ineptitude. millions lost in corruption and mismanagement which the taxpaying citizens are paying for. jobs are scarce. salaries are not keeping up with the increased costs of water, petrol, food etc. how the hell are we supposed to live??? what about the elderly??? |
2026-10-21 07:05:52 +02:00 | Harald | Rietfontein | Not fully | Electricity | Increases should not be more than 3 per cent per annum as the set inflation rate increase as set by Government |
2026-10-21 05:57:18 +02:00 | Kunjulwa | Mdantsane | No I do not | Electricity | Mujicipality knows that people connected unlawfully, hutbtheybare doing nothing about that. Why people doing that are not jailed? Because those paying are suffering. Worse of all even illegal foreign immigrants are connecting izinyoka in our country. South africa is a disgrace to the world when it comes to foreign immigrants |

2026-10-20 06:39:18 +02:00 | ANNA | Model Park | No I do not | Property rates | The valuations used are not usually market related values at all but most often above any price a willing buyer would gladly pay for the property. Therefore the municipal values are overstated and purposely done so to collect higher rates. Every successful business needs to be efficient and effective. This should apply to every government department and not just to the private sector that cannot willy nilly increase it's prices. The monopoly of municipalities kills all fair competition which would keep prices down, and effectiveness up. |
2026-10-19 19:35:22 +02:00 | Peter Uren | Randpark | No I do not | Electricity | Unacceptable to increase so much costs should come down through efficiency/ effectivenrss and serious cost cutting. Excesses and corruption must be cut out and destroyed. We cannot accept any increases. PRIVATIZE IF THE FAT CATS AND CARDRES CANNOT MEANINGFULLY ACHIEVE. COMPETENCE OVER CADRES. |
2026-10-19 17:35:17 +02:00 | Dalene | Moreleta Park | No I do not | Property rates | Municipalities must first address corruption, financial mismanagement, electricity theft, unnecessary expenditure and operational inefficiencies instead of constantly passing these costs on to paying residents. We just cannot afford these increases! |

2026-10-16 17:19:48 +02:00 | Ronel | Del Judor 4 | No I do not | Electricity | I strongly object to the proposed municipal tariff increases. South Africans are already struggling with the rising costs of electricity, water, fuel, food and other basic necessities. Pensioners and ordinary working families simply cannot afford these continuous increases, especially when service delivery remains so poor. Municipalities must first address corruption, financial mismanagement, electricity theft, unnecessary expenditure and operational inefficiencies instead of constantly passing these costs on to paying residents. We deserve accountability, transparency, fair increases that are justified and affordable, and proper value for the money we already pay. Residents should not be expected to pay more for services that are not being delivered. |

2026-10-16 04:26:34 +02:00 | Cecelia | Pacaltsdorp | No I do not | What about the pensioners. They are the ones that suffer the most. A lot of people that don't want to work live happily in free houses . The value system is not fair. I paid 46 years Tax to our goverment But I just don't qualify for Sassa . How fair is this. I never earned enough to qualify for a house as well. Know on my retirement I need to look for help. But government don't care . The people making these decisions have no clue what life is all about. We need help as pensioners Thank you Cecelia | |

2026-10-15 16:17:19 +02:00 | Sandra | Mogale | No I do not | Electricity | Municipal costs and sky high fuel prices make living difficult for the lower and middle class citizens. Somewhere these citizens have to be considered on skyrocketing increases. |

2026-10-14 01:36:26 +02:00 | Jessica | Midrand | No I do not | Electricity | Prices keep rising and recovery of stolen/ owed funds is going nowhere. The honest are being punished while thieves keep taking. |
2026-10-13 17:20:31 +02:00 | Beverley | Nahoon | No I do not | Electricity | I object to the proposed increases in electricity tariffs. Millions of South Africans are already struggling under a severe cost-of-living crisis. Higher electricity prices hit poor and vulnerable households the hardest, forcing families to choose between keeping the lights on and buying basic food. Consumers should not pay for operational inefficiencies. |
2026-10-13 15:04:30 +02:00 | tarryn | Mooinooi | No I do not | We can no longer be expected to pay for municipal failings. There is absolutely no service in my area. We get nothing for our rates and taxes, no water, no road maintenance, no refuse removal, no sewerage, no postal services, no police presence. No service whatsoever. These corrupt municipalities need to fix their internal issues such as theft, fraud, ghost employees before they look st us for any more money. |
