Anthony | Yes I do | Service delivery | Same old list of lack of delivery. Every aspect of COJ service delivery failure. Shocking. Roads, Sewer, electricity, water, education, hospitals, security and on and on. |
Moate | Yes I do | Cost of living | The cost of living for ordinary South Africans has become too high and unsustainable. Household incomes are increasing at rates far below the rising costs of inflation, rates and taxes, water and electricity, fuel, as well as basic food. Any meaningful relief for citizens is therefore urgently needed. |

Lynn | Yes I do | Cost of living | Rates and taxes are increasing but salaries are not. Pensioners get a few Rand increase in SASSA but the rates are higher. No consideration for the middle and lower classes |

Kelly-Lynn | Yes I do | Cost of living | For the last 30 years administered prices (rates, water, sewage, garbage, electricity) have all increased at rates well above inflation. See the latest report by the by the competition commission which bears this out. For middle class South Africans, who already pay the bulk of income taxes, and who mostly do not get above inflation wage increases, these above inflation increases in all administered costs is not sustainable. In addition to paying the bulk of taxes these same middle class South Africans are expected to subsidise the "free basic water and electricity" and the non-rate payers in the country. It is time we stop calling things free as nothing is free a somebody ultimately pays, but the middle classes cannot continue to continue to fund bloated government departments, BEE, inefficiency and corruption as well as having to subsidize those not paying. |
