Have your say – shape the outcome.
Mangaung has proposed a budget that is arguably the most controversial in South Africa this year.
INCREASES ARE AS FOLLOWS
Property rates increase of 6%
Water tariff increase of 11%
Electricity tariffs will increase by 9%
Refuse removal charge increase of 6%
Sanitation Charges (Sewerage) 6%
Staff salaries staff salaries will increase by 4.75%
This is a fixed multi-year collective bargaining agreement (SALGBC)
| Proposed Increase (%) | Context / Reason | |
| Property Rates | ~33% (Revenue) | While the tariff might see a small reduction, the new valuation roll has seen residential values skyrocket by 49%. The net effect is a projected 33% revenue increase for the city. |
| Water Provision | 11.0% | Driven by bulk increases and high network losses. |
| Electricity | 14.0% (D) | Domestic users are being hit with a high markup above the 9.01% NERSA bulk rate to cover “infrastructure debt.” |
| Sanitation / Refuse | 6.0% – 7.0% | Above-inflation adjustments for fleet maintenance and landfill management. |
Do we have the wrong information?
