South Africans are facing an extraordinary cumulative burden of taxation, rates, tariffs, levies and other compulsory charges while household affordability is under severe pressure and many citizens experience declining or inadequate public services in return.

I therefore support the proposed municipal rates freeze, but I also call for a national moratorium on further increases in personal income-tax burdens, followed by a fundamental review of the legitimacy, proportionality and economic consequences of taxing the income and remuneration of individuals.

How much can ordinary South Africans reasonably be expected to surrender before their ability to live, work, own property, save and provide for their families is compromised?

Everyone can observe that our munucipality works very hard with the comparrison little received from gouvernment, even if the Western Cape is the biggest contributor of taxes. There are some flaws, but if funds were to be allowcated deservingly, much more could be done to uplift our comnunities still in need.
