I am buying prepaid monthly and I'm also having other expenses to take care of in the family.

It’s burden to everyone who tries to make ends meet not everyone is employed some of those employed not earning enough

We are paying too much already for electricity and now this, where exactly is this service fee going? And why make a decision like this overnight.

Mmasello Ngozo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-17)

We are tired of being overcharged and the poor service delivery.

Shane Chetty (Roodepoort, 2024-07-17)

I am against the monthly service charge of R200...I am 52 unemployed and I get no grant, stipend or salary or income...I do volunteer work in the community as a Patroller...how can I pay R200 and purchase units...I can't hardly feed or cloth myself...

This is an unjust and ill conceived idea.

Tshiamo Marogoa (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7832

I don't it's fair that we get charged de
R200 fee

Mike Mahlangu (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7834

It's unfair, ridiculous charge and unconstitutional for us to pay this amount after Nersa increase. Currently unacceptable.

Dorothy Modley (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7835

I can't bare this anymore, everything goes up but the infrastructure remains in a bad state and we bare the consequences of outages etc.
How can we live if we're paying so much for utilities. What are we left with for food, school fees, petrol, etc...

Fahmeedah Patel (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7838

I am signing because City Power’s new payment on top of the increased tarrifs doesnt make sense . It is wrong and unfair, not only to the poor but everyone. This is one of the reasons why people end up using electricity illegally

Mapaballo Borotho (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

Electricity is too high

#7843

We as South Africans had enough of bad management and theft in our municipality 's and we as paying citizens must stand up for our rights in our country.

Samuel Jordaan (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7844

Tariffs are too high and already the cost of living is at an all time high

Olerato Ntlailane (Roodepoort, 2024-07-18)

#7846

I feel that this is unfair and in justifiable. The rates have already been increased by absolutely disgusting amounts then to put this tariff on top of this increase is just totally unacceptable. People are battling to make ends meat as it is and this is setting people up to fail because of there own miss management.

Kirsty Morar (Randburg, 2024-07-18)

#7847

This fee is to fuel future corruption and accepting that zuma legacy lives on via state capture

Mervin Louis (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7851

I reject the R200. Why must we pay more for Eskoms F ups

Tasneem Razak (Auckland park, 2024-07-18)

#7853

That fee is ridiculous, how does one live with all these high costs!!!!!

Nicole Houston (Roodepoort, 2024-07-18)

Gerald Neo Khiba (Fleurhof, 2024-07-18)

This is too much I can't offord and this is day light robbery

Stanley Kgomo (Midrand, 2024-07-18)

Unfair electricity charges

Gomolemo Nkoane (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7857

I am signing because I baught electricity on Monday the later the electricity was finish and when I called they told me about usage that I never used at all so I am so fastraited

Makgomo Mothisi (Joburg, 2024-07-18)

#7862

I'm signing because electricity is expensive. And it doesn't make sense to pay a lot of money when others are not paying at all. Why are others bridged and they are not bothered. Stop manipulation.

Reneilwe kgalema (johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7864

I'm signing because this will cause havoc in the City of Johannesburg if they continue to charge and we already been charged using business tariffs by protea metering instead of residential tariffs from the 1st of July.

Foster Matji (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7868

I can't afford these increases .

Desire Scholtz (ALBERTSKROON, 2024-07-18)

#7869

I am signing because the added R200 service fee is definately not acceptable, and is infringing on our rights to get basic services. We refuse to be forced to accept the municipalities expecting us to pay even more, for those who have proven time and again, to be incompetent and incapable of doing the jobs that they are being paid for. You aren't doing us a favour, do your damn job!!
Corruption must be exposed and dealt with in the form of the culprit being immediately dismissed from their position, and be replaced by a qualified, competent person and not a family member.

Charmaine King (Gauteng, 2024-07-18)

#7870

I'm signing because I can't afford the new bill.

Megan Schofield (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7872

As I do not agree with the service fees and these high tariffs charges on electricity

Nicole Brown (Roodeport, 2024-07-18)

#7873

High tariffs

Tshepo Masoko (Roodepoort, 2024-07-18)

#7875

We are not paying value for money due to loadshedding and also when you buy R 500, you only get below R 250. We are trying our best to be good citizens and now you are forcing us to join the guys who enjoy electricity while not paying a cent. Please restrian from this unfair idea.

Bonginkosi Nyaqela (Lehea, 2024-07-18)

#7877

I’m signing because this fee is ridiculously high , unnecessary and does not favour the residents

Sihle Thwala (Roodepoort, 2024-07-18)

#7878

This totally oppressive to us as the consumers. We are tired of this oppressive behaviors. If you have incompetent staff please address the issue at its root. I'm having a billing issue from the last ten years. To date I haven't recieve a resolution

Come on
You guys need to catch a wake

Muhammed Memee (Lenasia, 2024-07-18)

#7886

I feel the tax payers are already financailly stretched and now have to bear the burden of bad management of resources. The prepaid fee is unnecessary and unaffordable

Madeleine Behrens (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

Hermanus Joubert (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7910

I'm also a customer and this is too much, the electricity price is already high. Price increase every year plus this R200 for what? ☹️☹️☹️

This is a daylight robbery and unfair as we the citizens are being milked for the politicians to steal

Mohamed Ilyas (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

I don't want an increase in electricity bill

Zanele Mpanza (Roodepoort, 2024-07-18)

#7921

I'm almost 60 years old and already contributed a lot towards my municipal bill. This added increase will mean that I have to spend less on my food bill. Where does it end.

Sadhaseevan Naidoo (Lenasia south, 2024-07-18)

#7924

I’m signing this petition bacause this surcharge is unaffordable and illegal

Martin Maqeba (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7928

I reject the fees imposed by city power.

Zaid Hartley (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7932

I think it is unfair that we are taxed and we now have to pay this fee. I am a pensioner and I struggle to make ends meet at times. Also electricity is having a tariff hike. Water, rates, refuse and sewerage are all going up. How are we expected to live.

Cornelia Hilton (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7936

Stop taking advantage of paying customers. Enough is enough

Garry Jooste (Johannesaburg, 2024-07-18)

#7939

I’m signing because this is unethical and unfair on the consumers. We have to make provisions to get our own electricity as Eskom and City power cannot give enough we have higher increases than inflation and then we have to give more money for what? And to fund what?
Where is the democracy in this! Where was our input as consumers?

Marina Forster (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7942

The charge is illegal

Shiraz Ismail (Gauteng, 2024-07-18)

#7944

I feel is unfair and more than expensive. Some people are not even paying a cent they get electricity free.

Hope Ledwaba (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7945

The R200 service charge that has been forced on prepaid electricity customers is unconstitutional and totally unrealistic. We have not been consulted fairly and not had the opportunity to object or oppose this charge or motivate why we feel it is not acceptable or fair. We are already gravely burdened by the astronomical price of electricity and as prepaid customers we cost less to the city and country. Our electricity is purchased upfront. We do not cost the city the expense of salaries for meter readers, we do not cause bad debt to the city in respect of unpaid electricity bills and we don’t cost the city fees for contractors to terminate electricity supply for unpaid or arrear accounts. There is no motivation or incentive for prepaid customers. We want the R200 service fee abolished and reversed.

Mandy Mockler (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7947

I don't approve of this service

Noni Shezi (Fleurhof, 2024-07-18)

It’s simply cruel and sickening.. should not be taxing the poor

Marius Batts (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7950

R200 is absolutely ridiculous. My mother us a pensioner who stays in a cottage. She absolutely 💯 % cannot afford an extra R200 from her grant. People can barely afford to eat never mind putting a geyser on to have a hot bath because it takes so many units.

Sam George (Johannesburg South, 2024-07-18)

#7953

I'm signing this because I do earn alot... Salary doesn't allow me to accept this extra fee.
Cost of living is expensive.

Shameema Delate (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7954

Fed up with corruption and incompetence. The loss of revenue from loadshedding is the reason for this extortion.

Sandy Kotze (Benoni, 2024-07-18)

#7955

The mandatory R 200.00 is unfair as the electricity is expensive as it is

Mbongiseni Mraji (Kibler Park, Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7956

I feel it is totally unfair that prices are been hiked like this when we are already taxed to the bone and people are in Poverty going hungry and don't have jobs 😭😭😭

Jennifer Botha (Hamberg, 2024-07-18)

#7959

we can not afford this kind of tarrif as they are a burden to me and i do not earn enough,i also have a ,lot in my plate,let alone electricity is too expensive,with more more money and less units.adding these monthly service fee will result in not having food on the table and probably live without power.

Tendani Elvis (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7964

I’m signing this because the increase is so grossly unreasonable. This is financially unsustainable for all citizens.

Socrates Koom (Johannesburg, 2024-07-18)

#7977

R200 monthly fee in addition to the 12.5% increase is absolutely ridiculous.

Lester Carls (Roodepoort, 2024-07-18)

Hendrik Nortjee (Roodepoort, 2024-07-18)

#7984

Mpho Dlanzi (Jhb Fleurhof, 2024-07-18)

#7985

The additional R200.00 surcharge is unjust and unfair. Simply imposed on us without consultation.

#7996

It is totally unfair to increase the tarrifs and at the very same time inforce a fee that cripples ones budget and one gets less units for comsumption basic home usages

Omar Crawley (Johannesburg, 2024-07-19)

#7997

I bought electricity for R400 hoping it will last me one week, it came as the surprise to only get 61kw which is only two days.

Sbusiso Manqele (Johannesburg, 2024-07-19)

#7998

I disagree with the tariff hike, we were not consulted as residents. I will not be able to afford due to financial constraints.
