It’s voting time again.
We will see all the councillor’s faces wanting a vote.
We vote them in but what do we get?

Pensioners collect their money by the 4th/5th due to long lines at the banks and supermarkets; we then pay our accounts latest by the 6th.
The municipality is charging late payment fees.
At times we don’t have money for our basic needs, so how do we pay the late payment fees being charged?

Before we used to pay by the 10th of every month.
It was fine at that time why not now? We had to wait for family members to fill up since grants and pension money isn’t enough.
We still struggle to live.
They must bring it back to the 10th or abolish late payment fees.
