This is an abuse of power and the 200 monthly fee and electricity increase is totally ridiculous especially at this time of our economy.

Ridiculous fees
Can't afford it

Electricity has become unaffordable with the constant above inflation increases implemented by Eskom, Municipalities along with their service providers and approved by NERSA. My view is that the energy regulator doesn't have the best interests of ordinary South Africans. It seems that we are constantly funding corruption by those in the above stated institutions.

The cost of living is too high, over and above it the increased tariff rate and now the added R200 for service fees for electricity. This is just the city of Johannesburg reaping us off the little money that we have to make ends meet.

This is exploitation of the working class & the unfortunately, the services provided do not warrant surcharges etc

I feel that Citypower should not be penalising prepaid customers for not doing their job in collecting revenue from non paying customers. Consult properly and ensure that an holistic approach is taken in solving their debt. What is being done about illegal connections? I personally know of working residents in communities that have bridged metres and are still proud to say that they do not pay for electricity. How is this being addressed before taking an additional R200 per month plus tarrif increases from the paying customers?

I'm signing this petition because electricity is very expensive and I'm struggling to buy electricity for the whole month, I can not afford to pay R200.00 for service fee. It's too much.

Pfarelo Melvah (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4050

I am signing because I don't want the mandatory 200 fee, electricity is already expensive and this fee makes it worse.

#4051

Already the electricity charges are very high, so is unemployment rate. At the same time some of us who work earn peanuts. The 12.7% is extreme, let alone the insane R200 monthly fee!!

Gillian MOFOKENG (Fleurhof, 2024-07-04)

#4060

The electricity interest rates are very unreasonable. It's too much .
I have to pay for the water bill and other utilities and on top of that now we are charged more for the electricity that we buying .
This is total nonsense.
The municipality has to come up with another way to pay eskom. We can't be punished for buying electricity . This service fee has to be withdrawn.

The monthly service fee on prepaid electricity is ludicrous, we are stretched so thin as it is, prices of all necessities are increase, but not our salaries. We are bring squeezed into poverty.

Bernedene Angelo (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

Electricity is already expensive as it is, it is unstable and that there are many residents in Soweto who are getting free electricity.

Donovan Herman (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4085

R200 is too much for every month. That’s a lot of units that could cover a week for a household

Zwivhuya Ramashia (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4086

What's the point of being on prepaid then??? We chose to be on prepaid for a reason to avoid any surcharges on our utilities bill, or "accidental" inflated rates due to poor administration 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
This is just theft of our money 😡

What about the poor old pensioners, that have to make it with a SASSA grant??? You're stealing from the poor! They hardly make it through the month with that little money, if you have to introduce this silly surcharge - at least exclude them!

Charl Bosman (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

I'm signing because the electricity tariff charges and the monthly charge is not lawful.

Leigh Van Der plank (Roodepoort, 2024-07-04)

#4100

I am signing the petition because the reasoning behind City Power's justification does not make sense. The cannot expect the paying middle-class to fork-out this amount every month, whilst there are thousands of residents who do not pay for electricity and would not be paying the R200 amount either.

The City has to first disconnect households that are stealing from the city and not classify them as non-paying customers; as this would result in customers who paid and do currently pay also becoming non-paying customers.

This feeling induces a great deal of anxiety when one purchases electricity, as what is expected versus what is provided does not match and what would have lasted a month, won't last a week.

Phumi Ntuli (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

I cannot afford the electricity as it is

#4137

Besides being an unfair practice it is setting a precident for a downward spiral. The cause of the shortfall is not because of citizens not contributing- Obvious if it is slapped on to prepaid customers..... The cause of the shortfall is short supply and dwindling demand.

Christo van den Berg (Roodeoort, 2024-07-04)

Motselisi Hilda MOPHATLANE (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4177

I'm signing because I know it is unfair for paying customers to carry the financial burden of the entity for any reason. City of Johannesburg, City power and Eskom must deal with the non paying customers and enforce the law, for example residents in many parts of the city are connected to the grid illegally and those who are connected legally like soweto residents, Alexander and Orange farm are not paying for electricity. Many of those houses are renting out some rooms or the entire properties but they fail to pay for electricity and other services, however majority of those houses pays for DSTV and Fibre (internet) which they cannot use without electricity but the government of the day cannot hold them accountable because they lied to them by promising free services.

City power must also deal with the corruption and syndicate that involves they're employees and their contractors. Arrest them , send them to jail and blacklist them from working and doing business with the city and the state at large.

Rudzani Kenneth Nedzamba (Johannesburg, 2024-07-04)

#4179

The R200 service fee is too high and it was not communicated to the public on time for us to adjust.And also the 12.7% annual increase is way too high..We must now pay for the debts of city power, it's not fair.

#4190

Because this increase is not good for us coroners and we can’t be paying for the R200, it’s just putting a strain to households.
