The overtaxing of citizens is causing a cost of living crises: our government is taxing its citizens into starvation.
It does not make sense to make a system with out any limits or controls, and it also does not make sense for a government to be so apathetic to its citizens it does not care about taxing it's own citizens to death.

The mere fact that municipalities during covid refused to stop taxes from being levied is a problem which still has not been addressed. It is as if civil servants do not understand the effect they have on the people around them. As if they simply do not care at all.

If the system cannot be fixed, why does it exist at all?

As a farm owner, I am forced to pay rates and taxes.
The service roads to the farms is not municipal and is poorly maintained by provincial authorities. Farmers has to repair roads at their own expense to maintain the feasibility of the farming business.
There is ZERO services the municipality provides to the farming community. The supposed to be market related evaluation of farms is over inflated. To fight it is extremely time consuming and requires visits to the municipal offices. This removes you from the farm with a resulting loss in income. Meanwhile, the municipality works on the Pay, we will fix later, principle. The fix later never happens, even if you prove the valuation mistakes is on municipal side.
Rates should be frozen. Rates should be abolished forever. As if the tax on the farm income is fair. The system is destined to implode on itself.

THe damaged road on 7 passes between Wildernis and George has been closed for a long time now and is seriously disrupting the local community, and is making it more difficuilt for children to get to school in George. The national road between Wildernis and George via kaaiman's river also took a long time to be rebuilt, and this looks like wastefull expenditure, since the old road was fine and didnt need any extensive repair, appart from, a re-seal. THe newly built road had had its top surface again removed before the river crossing, and this looks like CORRUPTION at work. Please investigate the whole project.
