The City has tried to ensure that rates and tariffs remain low with the Covid-19 outbreak having had a negative impact on the finances of institutions and many residents. This was a measure to alleviate the burden on the residents’ finances while the municipality also faced challenging times with low revenue collection. The lowest rate increase is the property rates which will increase only by 2%, making it the lowest in the municipality’s history. A leading economist Dawie Roodt recently commented that the municipality tried to keep rates low except the unavoidable 15,63% hike from the national power utility, Eskom. The municipality had no other choice but have a tariff increase of 14,59% effective 1 July 2021 in the 2021/22 budget. It is imperative for residents to note that water and electricity tariffs are mainly influenced by the Rand Water and Eskom tariffs respectively. Residents can manage costs by tracking their own consumption of electricity and water.
