Property rates remain unchanged with a 0% increase. However, electricity tariffs have increased by 9.01%, water by 11%, and sanitation and other municipal services by 3.7%.
“While we continue to cushion residents with a 0% increase in property rates, these tariff increases are commensurate with cost-of-living increases. They are also necessary to ensure we continue delivering quality services to residents,” Mahlangu concluded.
