Municipal collapse
The state of municipalities is a disgrace.
The arrogance of the ANC the will not ask for help from competent people who could help to scrutinize budgets
and implementation.
Ramaphosa is completely obsessed with his preferential procurement and as we see at the commission the system is completely crooked and he just smiles because that is what he intended he is sad about the couple of arrests of the people employed by him or his henchmen and women of the ANC. HE SHOULD BE FIRED.

Above-inflation tariff increases for electricity and water are completely unaffordable and are putting every household under extreme financial distress. It is unfair to demand these high rates when the city is failing to maintain infrastructure, resulting in constant water outages, electricity disruptions, and unaddressed leaks.

Municipal collapse
The municipalities services are a disaster, water restrictions, electricity black outs, roads falling apart, traffic lights being removed after failing to work for months so chaos in the intersections and efficiency on a par with most government departments overpaid staffing complements doing very little for very high wages. They have no right to kill the golden goose (property owners) with their absurd valuation estimates and corresponding rates and taxes increases. This is poverty creation at its larcenous ANC best.

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.)

In addition to halting further rates and taxes increases, the current revenue should be used in the areas that it is collected from. We need to build and maintain our infrastructures and not wait till it becomes defiled/derelict before attended to.

Cost of living
The ever-increasing increase in rent, water, electricity, fuel, and food means families are living on and below the breadline. Rates and taxes are going up, and some landlords are passing on those charges as well to their tenants.
People cannot afford to eat and feed their kids, but the cost of everything just keeps going up and up faster than salaries.

We have pensioner headed homes ,who are sole dependent on social grants, the increasing rates and taxes puts more pressure and strain on basic needs.

We should freeze payment of rates and taxes and pay the money into a trust and take over basic services. Only a few people are carrying the non-paying masses and get no services for it.

All services linked to our municipality are in a steady decline. Potholes, no street lights, regular collapse of electric pylons and water outages.
