Cost of living
The same property value are increased that relates to higher rates and taxes, whilst our income as pensioners are very limited
The same goes for families with kids that are at school , college or university.
Income does not keep up with the massive burden of paying.
Based on taxation alone one can loose your life-long acquired property in this way.

Rates and taxes why should we pay them? I think they should be canceled. I want to own the land that I bought. Not renting from the municipality. Water, bin removal and sewage they are services that we should pay for. Rates and taxes what are we paying for. If it is to help the municipality it should be a standard fee. I can't pay R700 while my neighbor pays R300 in the same neighborhood with same challenges. Please cancel rates and taxes. It is day light robbery.

The cost of living has become a nightmare for ordinary citizens. The law abiding citizens are being sucked money from all angles to feed the entire continent. While the municipality rates and taxes keep rocketing sky high, service delivery has worsened over the years.

I acknowledge that inflation affects everybody, but the remedy is more efficiency and not more monies paid for same service delivery should there be any as many municipalities fail in basic service delivery.

All of the given choices - Municipal collapse, service cost of living etc
Enough is enough. Accountability and elimination of corruption first !

Municipal collapse
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.

We pay rates and taxes, and yet no service delivery happens with municipalities wasting money, misappropriating it, or plainly just stealing the money. This means that we as citizens bear the brunt of municipal fat cats living luxury lives while we suffer. Citizens are over-taxed as it is. We need some way to ease this unfair burden on citizens.
