Yes, I fully support an immediate FREEZE on municipal rates, taxes, and tariffs! South Africans are already crushed by rising costs, failing service delivery, crumbling infrastructure, and economic uncertainty—with GDP growth barely scraping 1-2% and households forced to choose between basics like food and paying inflated bills. Many municipalities are bankrupt or dysfunctional, yet they keep hiking rates while providing less and less value. This freeze is essential to protect property owners, ease the burden on over-taxed families and businesses, and force better accountability. No more excuses—implement the freeze now and prioritize fixing what’s broken!

Bancrupsey twice declared. Oversizes to restore unsuccessful. Mm Audit says it all. All fund go for salaries to many new appointments. Not logistics and service delivar we pay for. Local community forums took on their responsibilities. Removing trash, potholes lighting grass citing. Cameras for security in residential areas.

Mangaung Municipality audits says it all. Corruption mismanagement.. Put under supervision for bancrupsey twice.. No CHANGES. PROVED to appointments all money received goes for salaries not service delivery or much needed logistics to ensure services be delivered. We pay private companies and contribute to local neighbour's hood forums to execute services.. potholes. Sewerage probs the rates and taxes should be used to execute. Cost of living is extremely high.

Bad municipal service delivery and the rising cost of living affect all.
