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. |
