DA, only ever from the privileged perspective. Keeps on raising rates have done next to zero maintenence in lesser privileged areas. Waiting 16 years since writing for our roads to be upgraded in our area. 2 years for two boxes installed on our pavement outside our house, and nothing is done to our white neighbour who's taken in our servitude Lane, installed a dish on my roof, and has an issue with the Athaan from the local Mosque. Cape Town is SA'so little Tel Aviv, where the privilege settlers with dual residence are of main priority with better service delivery than the locals. Why else is low cost housing not prioritised for the poor but provincial land is sold off to groups with foreign ties and interests

CoCT should sharpen their pencils, come down to grassroots level and listen. Not listen to talk, but listen to understand that this isn't a one size fits all scenario which can be candy-coated with standardised answers to a multiple challenges within the tariffs rough-shodded on the citizens of the province. Instead of having a one size fits all approach to complaints and desperate pleas from their citizens CoCT will harness a lot of goodwill if they show they actually care for, and listen to, citizens who vote to keep them in those warm seats of provincial government. How about setting up a helpsite online and a physical queue somewhere where citizens can be heard, and responded to, with solutions instead of making citizens one size fits all dummies. Show you have the will. Be fair. Be flexible within some broader guidelines. How ridiculous for instance that someone who rents from a landlord should be penalised with subtracting money owed to CoCT from electricity units. That's like stealing. 2019 is approaching. I'd think about that if I was CoCT.

Electricity tariffs are ridiculous to say the least. Every year inflation occurs yes, but 100% increase is definitely not cool. The more you earn the more the taxes yet people get free housing and we need to work even harder just to keep our head above water, and even the water prices increase too...go figure.

Im just as agrieved. Single mother who bearly gets by. My property is valuated yearly by city out of there own. I didnt ask for it and they dont care how one gets by. I managed to adhere and do my bit in saving because of loadsheddings back then now it seems we being punished. Y not look at those stealing electricity or those top notch managers whom we must support now. Just coz i stay where i do doesnt mean im rich. It means i work hard
