Christa | Yes I do | Cost of living | |
Wayne | Yes I do | Municipal collapse | Hard working South Africans are being over taxed as it is, never mind the fact that nothing is being maintained or improved in the high paying suburbs…. The Tax base is being diminished as more and more people are looking to leave the country for better opportunities. The tax money is being squandered on tenders for friends and family as a get rich quick scheme…. Enough is enough now |
Gershon | Yes I do | Cost of living | All those increases will just cause people not to be able to pay it already much to high . |
Gideon | Yes I do | Service delivery | Exorbitant taxes with no visible service delivery. Streets falling apart not being maintained. |
michael | Yes I do | Service delivery | |
Grant | Yes I do | Cost of living | I am in total support of a freeze in rates and taxes . We should fun service delivery by cutting the size of cabinet and removing all luxury perks from government official . No more fancy cars , flights and high life . Get the billions back that were stollen by the Guptas etc and stop squeezing the working man for cash they do not have |
Jay-Jay | Yes I do | Cost of living | |
John | Yes I do | Service delivery | The ANC is corrupt and defrauding and stealing the ratepayers hard earned money. Devise a system that the wards can do their own repairs and claim back the costs on credible proof the the repairs have been completed, from their rates. This will take the corrupt control out of the corrupt hands of the Municipality and their corrupt cronies. (ANC = Another National Catastrophe.) |

Derek | Yes I do | Cost of living | Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this very important subject. It is no secret that South Africa which we developed as Protestants are going through a face of chaos deliberately caused by the current regime because of their failure to deliver the service they are supposed to do. The main cause of this conflict between the government and taxpayers is obvious corruption, crime and lawlessness. The intentions of the ANC terrorists movement was never to manage the country but abuse their rights because of their religious beliefs ignoring our rights as humans as per the Constitution, Chapter 2, Clause 15.1, Clause 16 and Clause 18! Any educated and experienced legal expert will always compare two case studies and this principle applies to this matter as well. Two different time zones, from 1965 to 1992 and from 1992 up till today! It is obvious that there is no comparison with respect to the problems listed above because our country became a mafia State allowing criminals to manage our people as declared in John chapter 8, the Word of God. This in comparison with the first case study where our foundation was and is the Word of God, very obvious that the freedom of religion lie is simply not working and a total out of date scenario because religion is something from the past which belong to the past. The date in the Constitution, 1913, is obviously not the start of South Africa but 1652 which some humans do not know or are not aware of. The current cost of living, fuel price, energy prices, land and property prices do not reflect reality and are simply not cost effective nor affordable by the ordinary citizens. This widens the cap between rich and poor because of this quoted clause's! The ANC terrorists movement was supposed to be a liberation movement but failed their original promise's to the people of South Africa because of their religious connections to Iran and other religions like China. The current exchange rate a good example of their failure! |
Birgit | Yes I do | Cost of living | We have been given annual increases to deal with what was projected, not these exorbitant increases. Citizens need to be looked after to some degree. |
Warren Neville | Yes I do | Cost of living | Being self employed was okay, was able to pay some (not all) bills on time, economy has crashed, not because I don't work, but because those who manage the economy don't want to work, so now I struggle to even feed my family (not pay bills) we should not be held accountable for a situation that is man made and not self made nor god made, you the government subjected us to a normal social living standard, we followed YOU FAILED not us, why must we be held to account? |
alan | Yes I do | Municipal collapse | There is nothing given in return for the ridiculous amount of rates we have to pay in Durban. I live in a modest house in a poor neighbourhood and nothing has changed in that environment for more than 30 years , yet the rates have skyrocketed. I clean my pavement, I sweep the street in front of my house, I pick up rubbish, I pick up other peoples' rubbish, I plant shrubs on neglected sidewalks, I mow the verges - you want to carry on? Have not even mentioned the cost of private security; the cost of installing a solar geyser which is not the fancy one, but one which has no electrical connection at all and is all I could afford. Yet sewage flows in the main streets, we suffer electrical and water outages, have no libraries, no post offices - wake up and smell the stink! |
