200 its ridiculously too much and not fair for some of us who have been paying electricity. I think this should only apply for people that briged their metres.

Masego Kejemere (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

I am against the R200 service charge. It is ridiculous. Times are tough and electricity is already expensive.

Thandeka Jaca (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

#7216

This is outrageous that we can be expected to foot the bill for poor service without having an alrernative. Mismanagement and unaccountability of city power and eskom management should not be passed on to customers all the time!

i support the petition and i'm against all these excessive increases when we are already battling with our living expenses and drowning in debt

Lerato Nkabinde (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

Municipalities have messed up our bills. There is no meter readings done. We don’t know what we are supposed to pay anymore bcs our bills are so inflated and unreasonable.

#7233

I'm a law abiding citizen and I can't be subject to such corruption. Our economy is bad and they making it worse 😔 so I'm taking a stand on this matter.

Thabang Makoga (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

#7237

I feel we are being charged double, in the increase in the tarrifs as well as another charge for an unsubstantiated service fee or whatever they wanna call it. Then we pay tax for the provision of electricity. I was not consulted and feel this is another avenue for self enrichment which became the norm under the corrupt government

We deserve better

Zeenit Bhyat (Lenasia, 2024-07-09)

I was not consulted in any before this surcharge was effected. I only found out on a tiktok clip on the 29th June.

Pakiso Moloi (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

#7256

I am signing this because I cannot be able to pay that service amount with the money I am getting, people around soweto are not paying electricity, why they don't make people of soweto to pay the electricity in order to get money. We the people who are paying electricity from city power are heavenly punished with that amounts together with the increase of electricity with 12,7 %. That's not fair at all. And again there is a mismanagement of funds at eskom by top management.

Makhado Nemakonde (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

#7257

I am signing this because the pricing is too high and I feel this is not fair for us especially us who is buying electricity every month

Vhahangwele Maphamgule (Johanessburg, 2024-07-09)

#7258

We are demanding that the monthly service fee imposed by City Power be scrapped completely and that proper consultation be conducted with the Province residents.

• The petition is calling for Gauteng residents to hold their municipalities accountable.

• As petitioners we believe that NERSA is not doing its job properly and that this is leading to higher electricity prices.

• As petitioners we stand firm our beliefs that the burden of incompetent city officials should not be transferred to the consumers.

• We are calling for their leaders to be solution driven and to hold NERSA accountable for its poor decision making costing consumers financially.

• We are demanding the results and minutes of public paticipation sessions for this Service fee charges displaying consumers support for the implementaion thereof

Jabulani Kunene (Lufhereng, 2024-07-09)

#7267

We must always pay more and more for services that we don't get. If your power goes off, you have to wait 24h to escalate. After a another 24h the city might fix it if you are lucky. That means 2 days minimum. But now we must pay R200 more plus the yearly increases. Byt our salaries don't increase.

Stefan Beukes (Randburg, 2024-07-09)

#7271

The R200 is absolutely day time robbery. We are funding corruption and that is not on.

Already at the estate I live at they give us lower unit's at a higher they building more units and there's always a electricity box that burns which causes our appliances to get damaged as a result of building on a in a area where the gride can't supply enough power and price the R200 service fee is killing us even more

Having to see to my chronic medication our daily needs, Living expenses that is very high. I do understand everything must go up, but this very steep for us that's in the low income group.

Lebohang Mofokeng (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

#7287

This is too much, electricity is expensive as it is, now adding this R200 on top of that instead of making those who don't buy electricity buy. Stop punishing people who are loyal and paying for services instead of taking action against those who don't.

Zandile Mazibuko (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

I’m signing because I cannot afford

Stellah Makase (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

I'm signing because I believe the charge is unjustified and unfair to consumers

Jabulani Sello (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

#7295

I’m signing because I disagree with the increase as it is not in line with the current socioeconomic climate of South Africa while considering high rates of unemployment, a disgraceful minimum wage, poor service delivery across the board and even poorer economic growth. Affordability must be taken into account when such proposals are put forward by service providers and frankly there should reductions instead of increases because the rates are already inflated. The people are literally sick and tired.

Thuthukani Sibonelo Mntambo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

#7296

I do not believe we should be paying this fee and it should be scrapped.

Pitso Mokoena (Johannesburg, 2024-07-09)

#7297

This is just ridiculous levies to be implemented, nothing about it makes sense but daylight robbery and those who suggested such should be charged and arrested

Kgomotso Moloto (Roodepoort, 2024-07-10)

#7312

I cannot afford as it is and now we have this R200 imposed on us. We are already struggling and decision i made for us by leaders who are living comfortable and i cant even afford l transport fee to work. This is painful...painful. i have already cut my crocery in half? How am i going to protect my family from starvation. I am a law abiding citizen. I do everything legally. What more do you want from us leaders. It feels like we are being punished for being alive. Are we missing something here? Regardless of your explanation Ekurhuleni municipality is not being charged, meaning our colligues who get the same salary at work will not be charged but we are all in Johannesburg SouthAfrica. When this decision was made, the people who are struggling were not considered. Your benchmark was based on households with homes with more than one income and those who get comfortable incomes. Our salaries are divided i to 4 or 5 households because our family members lost jobs and companies a continuing to close down. That R200 equals to mealie mealie for a month for one household.

In agreement to the above points raised. And that we as citizens of South Africa are taken for granted by the then and now ruling party the ANC and cadres employed by them that took an oath to serve the people with integrity and for their betterment.
This R200 surcharge is ridiculous and shoved down our throats; what is democracy? Whoever thought from the 2010's to date we will be buying the basic necessities we were promised '94?

It’s as simple as I cannot afford it.

City power is basically saying they don’t want us to have electricity, if so they must be removed as a middle man and we deal with Eskom directly

The cost of living is too high and to add a service that is not necessary or is not clear at best needs to be rejected.

Charlene Morgan (Germiston, 2024-07-10)

#7358

I'm signing this because I always pay my municipalities bill which is on average R3200.00 excluding electricity. We are 4( 3 adults and a 12yers old) I am.a widowed and the only bread winner. I have the solar system at home and the fireplace and this hike in basic services is absolutely crazy. I cannot afford to provide for my family anymore. I pay municipality services as if I am repaying a bond. This is crazy! R1000.00 electricity = 283.3 Units this is a rip-off. Let the government ministers and all the MP pay for their electricity. I cannot carry them anymore!!!! Enough is enough!!!

Zodwa Malinga (Midrand, 2024-07-10)

Manare Makunyane (Randburh, 2024-07-10)

#7365

As a Johannesburg tax paying resident, the additional R200 is unnecessary and the supposed intended use of the money should be covered by taxed.

Tatenda Gora (Johannesburg, 2024-07-10)

I do not agree

Sibusiso Thusini (Randburg, 2024-07-10)

#7375

This is not fair to be slammed with a bill like that we, already getting few units, who made an agreement to pay the R200 what about the unemployed meaning they can't buy the electricity.

#7377

I'm signing because i can't afford electricity, i am unemployed. Job hunting, accommodation, transport money and money to type cv, it means the poor will be the poorest

Kelebogile Marope (Kensington, 2024-07-10)

#7380

There was not enough awareness around the public participation? consultation process that apparently took place prior to the decision.

The cost of living is high, and a lot of households are barely making it through the month. There is no extra money for recurring costs that are unjustified.

I want the imposed mandatory R200 monthly service charge fee to be withdrawn.

Ntombifuthi Kamuto (Johannesburg, 2024-07-10)

#7383

Due to the leading political party’s rampant corruption and mismanagement, South African citizens domestic and commercial are going through very expensive electricity prices. Not only am I calling for the R200 fee to be investigated but consultation needs to be done with people. Consultations have become a place of officials telling us what they are going to do instead of listening to the needs and thoroughly doing a survey of what’s required etc. Prepaid was alluring because of the slightly lower cost, however it seems prepaid arose out of illegal connections and unpaid bills. Now people are connecting illegally and on prepaid so the situation hasn’t changed much. Paying honest residents are now funding informal settlements and the influx of illegal foreigners into JHB are making life difficult for those born in this country, while they are living tax and electricity bill free.

Shaukat Lambat (Johannesburg, 2024-07-10)

#7384

Yes we are not with more charges.

Mohammed Gafoor (Lenasia, Johannesburg, 2024-07-10)
