    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.
