Stop the R200 monthly service fee

Khanyisile Sokhela (Gauteng, 2024-07-04)

#3815

This is an outrage, there was no public consultation, this similar to the toll roads saga, pushing their agendas down the residents throats.

Shafik Kajee (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3816

You are charging us to much taxes! We are barely able to pay for food!

Déon Fourie (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

The tariff are too high in such short notice

Sibongile Mchithakali (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

I am a pensioner and can not afford an extra fee on my electricity bill

Nadia Simon (Gauteng, 2024-07-04)

#3827

This service fee is ridiculous and placing further financial burden on us as citizens. They must do away with it entirely!!!!

Lerato Semetse (Jhb South, 2024-07-04)

#3828

I disapprove City power stance of adding fees

Zandile Nhlapho (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3832

This daylight robbery has to stop. The government needs to stop punishing us for their iniquity and incompetence. Enough is enough.

Tsholofelo Nkomo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3833

We are pensioners with fixed income and are already using food money to maintain our property and the services to live a considerably reduced quality of life.

Robert Saunders (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3834

This is absolutely ridiculous...we got no money

Aadil Patel (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3835

We cannot afford. And it is many South Africans that cannot

Ntombfuthi Shezi (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3837

I cannot afford this increase.

Danielle Morris (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3840

The absurd service fee charged on top of the versatile increase. The city should work on fighting corruption and stop passing the buck to law citizens, to line thier pickets because of thier incompetence.

Dorcus Mokoena (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3842

We are already paying alot of money for electricity, day light robbery.

Ilze Prins (Alberton, 2024-07-04)

#3843

We have paid R4500 "installation fee". We are controlling the use of electricity responsibly. We as a prepaid user feel it unfair to be singled out to recover municipal debt. Rather target illegal connections

Wilna Marx (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3845

I want withdrawal of service fee

Fridah MORUDI (TSHWANE, 2024-07-04)

#3852

I’m not happy with the service fee implemented by NERSA and City power

Marie Portelas (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3853

We are struggling already with cost of basic living things. This is so unfair to us citizens and unable to maintain with basic standard of living.

Nhlonipho Mhlongo (Westdene (Gauteng - 2092), 2024-07-04)

#3855

Can't afford it,cost to must, what about the unemployed and the pensioners, we already struggling as it is

Yolanda Matthee (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3856

Electricity is high. Enough is Enough

Gugulamashenge Buthelezi (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3858

I am signing because city power has been unreasonable and corrupted.

This not fair

Tevin Marindi (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3859

R200 is alot of money, I'm already paying too much towards electricity and it would have been great to be consulted as the consumer before such an exorbitant amount imposes on me. What happened to R25 service fee? I mean we are already paying R0.24c each time we load on the meter all these amounts that the municipality is collecting should add up to something, but R200 per month is daylight robbery...

Ipeleng Mofokeng (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3861

Electricity is basic commodity for all SA who pays taxes in this beautiful land of ours

Chris Davis (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3863

I Am signing this petition because economy is bad,we can barely afford our houses rates and taxes, we can afford this extra fee as well already electricity is expensive and we hardly have it due to the loadshedding.

Thembi Nhlapo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3864

I'm signing because I am a pensioner and I cannot afford to pay the new rates for electricity, rates, refuse, etc.

Wayne Thomas (Randburg, 2024-07-04)

#3868

Prepaid fee not acceptable, already electricity rates are higher and one get small units

Nthatheni Nengovhela (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3873

I disagree with a R200 Service Fee. We already pay a lot for Joburg Services.

Mfundeni Mthembu (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3875

Yes

Sebego Shole (Lufhereng, 2024-07-04)

#3876

This is nonsense and unaffordable

Zubair Hassim (jhb, 2024-07-04)

#3877

Enough is enough

Mandisa Madie (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3878

I'm a pensioner and can barely survive on my sassa grant...I can't afford this fee...

Khatroon Essop (Gauteng, 2024-07-04)

#3880

I'm signing because I disagree that we should be penalised for the City's inability to manage its finances. Too many households do not pay for electricity at all and those of us who are paying are expected to bear the costs.

Tiffany Oersen (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3883

The middle class is already struggling and we can no longer stand by idle while we are bled dry even further.

Christian Mouton (Randburg, 2024-07-04)

#3886

I reject the City power electricity service fee

Thamsanqa Mvelase (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3887

WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE AS IT IS AND NOW THE CHARGES AND ADDITIONAL INTEREST IS MAKING US BANKRUPT, RATHER CUT THE ELECTRICITY OF THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T PAY THEN EVERYONE DOES NOT HAVE TO SUFFER FOR THEIR CONVENIENCE

MAIRA PRETORIUS (GAUTENG, 2024-07-04)

#3893

I'm signing because as a tax payer and mum , how do I manage to pay extras. Government is killing us with taxes and charges. Stop corruption,make electricity charges for every citizen equally. Eventually we won't even have
food money.

Sabera Sayed (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3894

I will not be able to afford to live in a house if fees keep going up. I am a single mother, trying to make it on a single income. These already high fees are killing us. People think because we're working that we're okay. We aren't - over 60% and more, of our salaries go to utility fees?! We can't live like this anymore.

Hazel Batalides (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3895

I cannot afford new services charges from the prepaid electricity bill.

Mohadi Mtetwa (Roodeport, 2024-07-04)

#3897

Cost of living is already too high!

Hellen Maja (Pretoria, 2024-07-04)

#3901

The service charge is very expensive on top of high cost of living

Kgomotso Shobane (Florida, 2024-07-04)

#3902

I believe that anyone using pre-paid electricity is already having a difficult time financially.

Natasha Davis (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3904

I do not understand why i need to pay for R200 while thousands use electricity illegally in the city.

Dzhavhelo Nematswerani (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3906

Electricity price increase way above inflation. This extra levy is simply not affordable under the current state of our economy. We switched fron post-paid to try and get some relief from network and other expensive charges because we are struggling to keep up with payments.

Daniel Mpapele (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

Mark Martin (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3909

The people are not happy with the city power service fees. This is extortion especially the poor. We can not survive and yet we have to pay extra. This is un acceptable

A Naidoo

Ajith Naidoo (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3914

Im not signing this petition because i didn't agree to the R200.00 to be deducted from my monthly electricity bill. Im also of the view that is done to recoup the mismanagement of both entities and further burden me as a JHB citizen.

Neo Motau (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3915

We voted for change and we believe that the government does not understand our daily challenges. The consistent increase in fuel, taxes and electricity is not just a simples decision for us. We struggle to even put food on the table or take our kids to school because government does nothing for the ordinary South African. We are dying in silence no one can understand our lives. We can fund electricity by reducing the MP salaries and introducing grading for their jobs. In this way we not only managing the competency level but also fair and principled leadership that understands what it's like to be a simple ordinary South African.

LB Maseko (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3917

It's dishonest and wrong

John Barclay (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3919

The monthly service fee of R200 should be waived

ntebo makhonanyane (Fleurhof, 2024-07-04)

#3922

Am signing because of am not happy about the decision that city power has taken.

Sizakele Legadima (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3924

Enough is enough. We cannot afford all these increases to keep funding incompetence and theft. First show good governance with the monies you currently get before asking for more

Eugene Pienaar (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3927

There is not sense of empathy and strategic thinking for the citizens of this great Country.


With the huge youth unemployment rate and inflation, how do marginalized families of SA even middle are supposed to survive this harsh climate of this economy. I pray for justice in this petition.

Sifiso Sibeko (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3929

I'm signing because the idea of a tariff increase when service delivery is so poor is shocking.

Alexi Batalides (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3932

For the 200 fee to be removed when buying electricity monthly

Yvonne Dube (Joburg, 2024-07-04)

#3936

8 cost of electricity is very much unreasonable

Lebohang Mogale (Fleurhof, ext 26, 2024-07-04)

#3939

This is unacceptable to charge R200 and the increase of 12.7%
If we need to pay the R200 send us an account every month with our balances

Cindy Evans (Gauteng, 2024-07-04)

#3940

I’m fed up with the corruption, theft, useless service delivery and general negligence displayed by the fat cats that think they wield the power to dictate their ridiculous will over millions of residents without any accountability. 30 years of theft, and now we have to pay to bail them out - to hell with these criminals

Rainer Wodrich (Randburg, 2024-07-04)

#3941

I'm signing because they have not taken anything into account like the financial state of the people who they are bullying into this terrif hike

Henry Lucas (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3946

I feel rip off. This is unfair to the residents.

Leeny Nkuna (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3948

It's not Fair or Viable

Rudi Daniels (Midrand, 2024-07-04)

#3949

I'm signing because the ever increasing tariffs are not affordable and will lead us into debts that will make sure we forfeit our properties.

Jackson Mmatloa (Kwaggasrand, Pretoria West, 2024-07-04)

#3950

I am signing this petition because we were not consulted when a decision to introduce these exorbitant charges was taken.

These imposed additional costs will add a burden to our already constrained budget.

We are demanding the withdrawal of the Service Fee by Nersa.

We have to be consulted as the residents of the City of Johannesburg before key decisions are made.

Tsholofelo Melodi (Roodepoort, Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3954

I refuse to be swindled by the South African government any longer!

Sumithra Patel (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3956

Service fee is ridiculous

Taahirah Choonara (Jhb, 2024-07-04)

#3958

I do not accept the electricity rate hikes and municipal rates from City of Johannesburg as well as City Power

Keabetswe Montshiwa (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3959

I’m signing because I’m tired of paying for the corruption and mismanagement of our City Power. Enough is enough.

Melany Schultz (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3960

Because I am a Consumer and these price hikes are done without me in mind. More importantly, we would not even need double digit increases in price if all municipalities and Eskom just do their job properly. I am now paying for their incompetence ans lack of accountability

Adrian Baggott (Gauteng, 2024-07-04)

#3962

When prepaid electricity was implemented for COJ, all the fees were added to the kw/h rate and billed accordingly for each kilowatt. This is a form of double taxation and should be abolished.

Mark Naidoo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3963

It's utter rubbish that we should incur fees while others have FREE electricity

Adele Canham (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3965

I'm signing this because the cost of the increase is already quite ridiculous with the service fee
We don't have electricity half of the time yet we're to pay double the amount that's actually available to us

Gabriella Abdine (Florida,Johanessburg, 2024-07-04)

#3967

I feel it's ridiculous to charge this addition R200 on top of an over inflation rate increase. It's daylight robbery and city power is throwing these costs to the consumer to make up for their poor management of their books and lack of recovery of costs from non paying customers and those who have illegal connections.

Adrian Peter (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3969

I REJECT this R200 "Service Fee" and ANY other additional costs being FORCED onto already struggling SA Population... This is like a Car Dealership charging the Clients for the Tools that the Service Technician uses to Service and Repair your Car...That's NOT Our business...We PAY for the Service ONLY...!! And, Unfortunately WE(S. Africans) have ALLOWED this RUBBISH in many other Government Departments...e.g. Vehicle Licensing, etc.
Enough is Enough...!!!

Rashid Rajah (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3973

This is unfair and unjustifiable. Cost of living is already way too high.

Regina Mosia (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3974

This is very expensive

Ntombi Nxumalo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3975

It's too expensive,we are already loosing 60% of electricity units to other tariffs,and another substantial increase should have public consultation first.

Roger Makau (Gauteng, 2024-07-04)

#3976

Am not happy with the R200

Olivia Mashimbyi (Boksburg, 2024-07-04)

#3979

I'm signing cause I don't agree with the implications

Sandiswa Matiwane (Joburg, 2024-07-04)

#3980

I am signing this petition, For the service fee implemented by NERSa and City Power to be reversed because is causing a financial burden on me, my family and my neighbours.

Calvin Tshilongo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3981

I am signing this because I am feedup of these municipal and city power workers thinking that they can just do as they please. We pay their over inflated salaries. We f do not accept paying increases without proper consultation

William Webber (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3987

the cost of living is to high, the admin rate should not be charged

preshalan naidu (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3988

We can't afford it, we are being penalized for government officials fraud and corruption

Riyaad Tar (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3991

I feel the service fee is too much, can it be reviewed please

Zinhle Boyi (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#3995

I cannot afford this

Zenani Nzwana (South Hills, 2024-07-04)

#3996

The increase and service fee together will cripple households that are already under huge financial pressure from the rising costs of living. The increase in power costs over the years has been ridiculous!

Graham Mol (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3997

The electricity charge has gone high and we are made to pay additional R200 while there are houses who don't pay electricity at all. It seems like the working class is being exploited while they are the ones paying tax.

Itumeleng Mohlabeng (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#3999

Tired of being robbed ,electricity is toooooo expensive and its not fait that some people are already paying for it and some are not .Suggest all meters installed on ALL houses before then once all installed can be activated .

Potia MngomeUlu (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4000
