Say no to the proposed tariffs increase in Msunduzi!

The municipality is proposing an increase between 5.35% and 14.59% on tariffs.

It is unacceptable that already depleted and overburdened Ratepayers are being choked to pay more, when the Municipality is failing to provide them with the most basic of services.

The DA proposes the following increases in line with National Treasury’s minimum:

  1. Property Rates – 3%
  2. Sanitation – 3%
  3. Refuse Collection- 3%
  4. Others (Penalties) – 6%
  5. Water – 6%
  6. Electricity – 6%
  7. Waste – 3%

As is only 40% of Msunduzi Residents contribute towards Rates & Services. We have Aged and Failing Infrastructure (Water/Sanitation/Electricity), Failing Billing System, Overgrown and Unmaintained Vegetation throughout the Suburbs and Irregular Expenditure on Non-Core functions & Private Security. Until these are fixed, we cannot expect ratepayers to cough up highly unreasonable funds for a municipality which does nothing for them.
