This madness needs to come to an end. Unfairness with regards to tariff rates is a huge problem, irrespective of property valuation. People are struggling just to keep their heads above water during this pandemic, instead of alleviating the pressure, Coct only piles on more with this increases and unnecessary charges. And to top it all, we must still pay VAT on everything, as if we not crippled enough.

We are all drowning..... As a single parent and just running a small business I don't have enough to feed my 4 kids my money basically just goes for electricity...thinking about electricity gives me anxiety..... It's ridiculous R150 per day and it's just the fridge and plugs we use..... I have installed a speed heat shower, gas stove and gas heater and still we use the same amount of electricity how is that even possible

I support this cause as the city of Cape town don't care if the middle class people have to sit in the dark as we are being crippled trying to keep the lights on

Fair and affordable is all part of service delivery by a municipality and the devious way in which pricing is applied without notification is criminal

It is such a struggle each and everyday. Keeping up with feeding my family and keeping the lights on. Electricity is ridiculously expensive! I just can't keep up anymore. Borrowing electricity money every month has become a pain for my family.

Electricity tariffs are killing us. We have to choose between putting food on the table or keeping the lights on. It's not right. Bring down the electricity tariffs
