South Africa’s municipalities are hiking their tariffs for water, electricity, property rates, refuse collection, and sanitation from 1 July.
Residents of South Africa’s major metros will see their water, electricity, property rates, and refuse and sanitation rates increase from 1 July 2023.
“When we went out on consultation, we were actually sitting on 5.3%, but of course, throughout the consultation processes with communities, we came to the conclusion that it should only be increased up to 2%,” he added.Morero noted that the Joburg metro had received around 42,000 objections to the proposed increase, of which about 30,000 came from residential customers and approximately 9,500 from businesses.
“I don’t think Outa is being genuine. We received their objection and their letter, which we have responded to blow-by-blow,” he said. Its increases are the highest regarding property rates, electricity, water, and sanitation, with the City increasing these tariffs by 7.9%, 18.5%, 14.9%, and 10.9%, respectively.
