This district is home to some of the most financially strained municipalities in
the country (Ngwathe and Mafube), which is reflected in their aggressive recovery
targets.

### THE INCREASES ARE AS FOLLOWS

**Staff salaries **4.75%

  |   |  **Electricity** |  **Water** |  **Rates** |  **Refuse / San** |  
   |  **Metsimaholo (Sasolburg)** |  **10.9%** |  6.5% |  4.5% |  5.0% |  
 |  **Moqhaka (Kroonstad)** |  **14.0%** |  5.5% |  3.7% |  4.5% |  
 |  **Ngwathe (Parys)** |  9.01% |  **10.0%** |  5.5% |  6.0% |  
 |  **Mafube (Frankfort)** |  9.01% |  8.5% |  5.0% |  5.5% |

    - _Moqhaka’s Electricity Markup:_ At 14%, they are charging nearly 5% more than
      the bulk increase.
    - _Ngwathe’s Water Crisis:_ With a R3 billion debt to Eskom and significant 
      arrears to Rand Water, the 10% water hike is a desperate attempt to stabilize
      cash flow.
