Enough is enough. We pay for the government's gross mistakes. Do something for the people, who pay taxes, for a change. No more increases. Fix your mistakes.

We are battling runaway inflation, high oil/ fuel prices, electricity prices too high.

There is so much of corruption going in the council. Our Mayor delivers unproductive , poor service and the council keeps increases rates and taxes even thought they don't supply.

It is unacceptable for the city to continue with excessive taxation whilst service delivery exists only in certain areas such as the Atlantic Seaboard but other areas such as Kuilsriver see worsening infrastructure decay.
Ordinary middle class can no longer afford these draconian taxes.

Beyond inflation, the resultant upward spiral of cost is getting out of control.

The cost of living for ordinary South Africans has become too high and unsustainable. Household incomes are increasing at rates far below the rising costs of inflation, rates and taxes, water and electricity, fuel, as well as basic food. Any meaningful relief for citizens is therefore urgently needed.

Everything keeps increasing and citizens are struggling to keep their heads above water. Its becoming difficult to survive. Jobs are scarce, and if you have one if you lucky to get an increase it does not cover the rising cost of living, which is high.

We are born free but taxed to death, out of my municipal account I use R330 water, the rest of the R3600 goes towards some form of tax, how pathetic are you, stop looting the budget then there will be money for maintenance and taxes don't have to rise every year.

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!

The amount of tax we pay in our country is ridiculous. The cost of fuel, basic foods, etc are all increasing while salaries are not. I feel as if I am working for the government since more money goes towards them than my household income.

Apart from corruption at municipalities, non service, wrong account detail i.e. incorrect/exaggerated monthly amounts, unlawful changing categories from Agri to Residential - these freezes should be made mandatory.

In this municipality there is no service delivery. Even after the disaster of the floods, nothing has been done yet. The roads are a disaster. The sewage flow freely through the streets. There is no town planner and everybody is just building student accommodation while there is no infrastructure.
