It's becoming impossible to keep up with payments

I am a resident and this will impact me negatively.

Tefo Radebe (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

This is daylight robbery. I feel sorry for the poor. All this will do is open the system up to more and more abuse. The under privileged will just get their metres bridged. This is not going to curb the corruption and theft.

I want the mandatory fee of 200rand imposter on the electricity to be scrapped off

In the light of the poor performance of City Power over the last few years, I find it unacceptable that (out of the blue) I suddenly have to pay R400-00.
No notice was given of any plans that City Power had of changing any fee/s and we did not have any opportunity to voice our opinions or ask any questions beforehand. Especially given the current economical constraints we are facing.

Sonja Spies (Randpark Ridge, 2024-07-04)

I am a single mom, with a minimum salary.
Got prepaid and the extra fee is killing me.
I buy R1000-00 electricity for the month.
Barely using light at night, just getting by every month. Now I am expect to live on R770 electricity for the month, that is going to be fun

Tanya Vosloo (Randburg, 2024-07-04)

#4622

We can not afford the amount and I feel it is not fair as I am 64 years old. We are paying for people that has not paid a single cent for electricity and we must suffer. We are all equal so if I pay they must pay. Equal rights or no rights. We are sick and tired for always have to pay for illegal immigrants that are sacking our country dry.

I’m signing because I don’t agree with that ridiculous fee. We don’t have money . We are cash strapped

Kgosimang Mashabe (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#4625

I am tired of being smashed around and robbed of hard earned money. We are paying for nothing, no services, no improvements and more stealing. The government doesnt care, they just keep punishing the honest paying person and illegal connections and theft of power is just accepted and encouraged.

Gabbi Hayward (JOHANNESBURG, 2024-07-04)

#4626

I already pay all my bills promptly,I cannot believe we need to buy more extra charges

Katinka Van Jaarsveld (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#4627

I am signing because the hefty Tariff has affected us at home. It's expensive and beyond our buying power, we not middle class or affording home.. We earn below average amount. The cost of living us hard enough in SA this is ridiculous..

Deliwe Ntsonyana (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4629

This is an outrage - for a company that doesn’t provide adequate service you want to charge the consumer for your inefficiency and lack of ability.

Roshni Reddy (Jhb, 2024-07-04)

#4630

I am against the service fee increase implemented in addition to the tariff increase.

Justine Prigmore (Jhb, 2024-07-04)

Its ridiculous, we cannot even afford groceries, this government is doing nothing to help us out, just take take take take take. I have nothing left to take but you still take.

Not fair and outrageous

Dan Naidoo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4641

I believe the R200 service fee is a rip off and unnecessary expense over and above the high electricity charges.

Jennifer Modikoe (Randburg, 2024-07-04)

The cost of living is way too high and we are struggling to sustain ourselves.

This service Fee is uncalled for electricity already costs so much and as a pensioner we cannot afford it.

Somaya Watson (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4649

The mismanagement must end. In all other spheres of life mismanagement is remedied through firing and replacement. The municipality apparently has no culpability and operates indiscriminately without putting the citizens at the core of its function.

Kerryn McKay (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4650

City power must scrap the monthly service fee

Dhanaseelan Moonsamy (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4651

Cause of high prices that is not justified and corruption.All the money gets stolen and now us the tax payer must suffer.

Terence Shunmagum (Johannesberg, 2024-07-04)

#4653

The electricity prices are unbearable. The middle and lower income houses are already struggling to make ends meet. This is just extortion

Emmanuel Matambela (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4656

Estelle Langenhoven (Randburg, 2024-07-04)

#4657

Because as a nation we cannot afford this we have kids and mouths to feed do not take this from me

Palwasha Khan (Pretoria, 2024-07-04)

Monthly charge is excessive. We also experiencing theft, how are we supposed survive

#4660

In support of the petition.

Mbali Mndebele (Randburg, 2024-07-04)

#4664

Because how does such a thing make sense. Already electricity is expensive so tell me how this new approach is even going to sustain city power because again next year you will implement another strategy, because this one will not meet the target and won't bring in money. What kind of satanic greed is this one city power. Hai

Mbongeni Mpengesi (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#4667

I am GATVOL of the South African Government taking advantage of the hard working tax paying Citizens of SA by stealing from them on a daily basis!!! Where as non-tax paying citizens and foreigners are getting everything at a minimal price or paying nothing at all!!!

Ridiculous to be forced into a corner ! Reject the fee n the increase

Kogie Naidoo (Jhb, 2024-07-04)

This is unfair and unjustified

Andre De beer (Willowbrook, 2024-07-04)

This is ridiculous 😒

Pieter van der Westhuizen (Johannesburg (OR Tambo), 2024-07-04)

#4677

I’m signing because I’m tired of state and municipal service providers being inefficient, poorly managed and forcing consumers to pay for these inefficiencies.

Yusuf Seth (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4678

I can’t be paying an electricity service fee when everything is increasing. We can’t!

Lakeisha Jones (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4680

Pre-paid customers pay for the electricity before they use it, and it is already more expensive per unit than post-paid electricity. This means City Power has the money in their bank at least 45 days earlier than post-paid customers. This monthly charge is not acceptable.

Martiens Prinsloo (Malanshof, 2024-07-04)

#4681

I'm signing because this is ridiculous and undermines our rights to electricity being affordable. What's the rationale to charge so much for pre paid customers who can't even afford it.

Nthuseng Mothapo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4683

I have paid R18k to change to and install a 3 phase Prepaid Meter.
I must now pay R200 per month and 12,7% tariff increase which is way above inflation.
This causes a ripple effect on every price of goods and services provided in South Africa.
We are barely surviving and now this, ‘Born free, Taxed to death.’
Enough is enough and I stand together with my fellow South Africans to say NO! We cannot keep on accepting and who knows, what’s next.

Manjith Maharaj (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4685

It's hard for everyone whatever you need is so expensive, strggling to pay bills and have city power taking the last penny in your pocket. No, No, No

Mafusi Ntlele (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4688

Daylight robbery

Themba Mabena (Randburg, 2024-07-04)

#4689

Im signing because I don't see the need to be charged R200 while the electricity is costly. This is another way for the government to make money from it's struggling community.

Busisiwe Hlatshwayo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4691

I think this is extortion and against the law to just take money paid over for much needed electricity to pay for something else! Totally unethical !

Anita De Castro (JHB, 2024-07-04)

#4693

Tariffs are high.

Haseena Lambat (Gauteng, 2024-07-04)

#4695

I'm signing this because I'm against paying a service fee for electricity. Where is the VAT going? Electricity is already expensive. The units we buy aren't even half of the amount that we buy for!

Boipelo Motaung (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4696

it's unsustainable to expect ordinary citizens to be the bank account for our corrupt government. You can't charge a fee that is meant for ensuring availability of a service that is so often unreliable and unavailable. Deceit and false advertising is what this is.

Ashley Nell (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

It is criminal to hold the people of South Africa accountable for the failure and theft that takes place at Eskom. The Zondi commission has found that many Ex Eskom employees should face jail time but nothing has happened to date
