Cost of living

Simple, I can't afford to live in my property and by the way we are not bottomless pit of money.
Stop subsidizing the so called poor. They are earning more money than I get from my pension.

Cost of living

I cannot afford all these cost of living increases, i recieved no pay increase last year, only recieved a 3 percent increase this year and now we going through retrenchments cuz the business is not doing well so that means no pay increase next year. So how must i keep up with the rates if everything on there goes up too. And the City of Cape Town wants to push my property value up by almost 50 percent as well. How must i keep up with everything, i cant even fix my dilapidated house. I need new window frames and windows, a new roof cuz it leaks into the house etc. This is just madness

Yes I do

Service delivery

Service delivery is almost non-existent in most areas. What exactly are we paying for ? Sporadic pavement cutting with no clean up afterwards, street lights not working, litter & dumping never picked up, trees & weeds encroaching into roads, faded /worn lines on roads never repainted, etc. Our Municipal rates & taxes are astronomical, & the senior staff members certainly don't deserve any increases.

I live in a well run municipality and am happy to pay for that privilege.
If I lived in any other municipal area, I would resent the incompetence, waste and corruption that characterises them.
Ratepayers cannot continue to fund these underperforming entities.

There is no service delivery

Streets are full of potholes, town is dirty, refuse truck always out of order

Gerbrecht

No I do not

Cost of living

It has become unaffordable to own a house and maintain it. All the added levies is unnecessary as that is what the rates are supposed to be for.
COCT is screwing us out of our properties.

Yes I do

Cost of living

Due to inept municipalities we have bad service delivery which we are paying a lot for. Infrastructure is falling apart, corruption and favouring of friends happen when it comes to bills, money are not being gathered from people who owe the municipality, electricity theft are not stopped, etc. The economy is staggering under the assault from all sides and we can't make ends meet, yet municipalities and government just want to up what citizens have to pay with little to no regard to keeping their side of the constitutional commitment.

It is a shame that as we clearly grow in numbers. That it is the minorities that are still supporting the majority. We hear the word apartheid used yet there is a fundamental flaw from that era that ive noticed still at play. The words previously advantaged speaking about the white South Africans. But still it is the white South Africans that are disadvantaged. We receive exorbitant bills and are expected to find money from an already depleted income. When the majority live in the luxury of no charges. Free electricity, free water no rates or taxes. But the white Minority is expected to carry this burden of their making. Yes it is apartheid that put us in segregated areas and gave them everything and we didnt consider that this choice would bite us in the ass. Equality means exactly what it states. So let all be subject to the same requirements
