      • The Water Disconnect: Vhembe District is proposing a 6.5% water hike. Given the persistent water supply challenges in areas like Elim and Musina, asking for nearly 2% above the salary benchmark is a significant pain point.
      • Musina’s Special Economic Zone (SEZ): Musina is pushing a 5.0% property rate increase, slightly higher than its neighbours, citing the infrastructure demands of the expanding SEZ.
